Go early.

Published on Mar, 2025

Had very good time of this tour. I think my tour guide name was Ben. Going into the Tower first was definitely worth before all the other tourist show up. Being able to see the Crown Jewels before got busy as well. Watching the Opening Ceremony inside the tower is must see.

Great experience

Published on Mar, 2025

We absolutely loved this tour. John was amazing and so knowledgeable about the history and fascinating little known anecdotes as well. He made a point, for example, of telling us stories about the involvement of famous Americans in some of the historic events. He was caring, interesting and had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend this tour!

Great Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Mike was great. He was so knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the tower history. He was a lot of fun and so good to make sure we were at the front of the line to see the Crown Jewels.

Terrific tour with Lots of highlights

Published on Mar, 2025

Our family of four very much enjoyed this tour! Ben was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. It was fascinating to see the opening ceremony with the keys. The Beefeaters were kind and happy to answer questions along the way. The Crown Jewels display was of course breathtaking and the early entrance made it much less stressful. The Tower of London has a rich history and Ben did a great job bestowing us with information and making it fun. It was also really nice to have a short bit for independent exploration. We wrapped up with the Tower bridge- the glass walkway was very cool. We took a 13 year old and 16 year old on the tour and they said it was one of the best ones we took on our trip. Bathrooms are also readily accessible which is a plus.
