Highly recommend this... - Highly recommend this tour, and our guide Denisa was terrific. We learned a lot from her. She is a wealth of information and a great story teller. I had no idea how spread out the Tower of London was. Excellent tour, highly recommend it and ask for Denisa.

She was very knowledgeable and charming and managed to keep even our two ten year olds interested through the whole tour by engaging them in the storytelling. The tour was nicely timed at various locations and we were well informed of what we were about to see when we entered a few places on our own. M used photos and maps and little poignant items to give life to the tour. Thank you M for a very informative and memorable tour!

Tower of London Tour - This was a great tour. I didn’t realize how massive the Tower of London was. I am a history buff, so love this stuff. Our guide James was knowledgable and knew how to juggle where we went to minimize lines. The only downside of the tour was the heat. It was brutal, but the tour doesn’t control the weather and James soldiered through it like a pro.

Great tour, but not for families with children - This tour was not good for children. There was not enough exploring, and more discussion on the surroundings. We had 11 and 13 year old boys and they wanted to explore the grounds more than stnad around and listen to the tour guide. Great tour, just not for a family.

This tour depends very... - This tour depends very much on the ability of your guide. Ours was average at best, unfortunately, and she seemed to be a last minute substitute. Although she knew facts about what we were seeing, they were not presented in an engaging or interesting manner. Coupled with the extremely hot weather, the tour was not enjoyable.
