Tower of London with Walks Tour is the Best - Kim was our guide and he was exceptional! This is a Walks tour and you just know this tour company sits above the rest. The time, the detail, the amount of knowledge these tour guides have is just the best around. Kim took the time to explain the history of the Tower of London, he answered all of our questions. We had the special circumstance of having two tour guides on our trip, Sophie is so knowledgeable and we can’t wait to take a tour from her too one day when we return to London. 10 out of 10 stars, look no further, this team is amazing!

Tower of London Early Access Tour - Excellent tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Tower of London including the various people that lived and died there. Having early access to see the Crown Jewels was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour.

Good tour and a great pie at the tower Restaurant - The first thing is they should explain where to meet, the guide as it was very confusing. They could say meet under the big Tree that is in front of the tower shop, that would save a lot of confusion… other than that the guide was very experienced even though we had a bomb threat, before we started and consequently had to wait for a few hours before we had entry.
But all in all the guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. The pie and mash in the cafeteria at the tower is well worth buying.

Awesome Tour with Awesome Guide - Our tour guide Elizabeth was awesome and gave us all sorts of interesting facts and tidbits about every part of the Tower and throughout the tour.
One of the best parts of the tour was the earpieces! Every person got a bluetooth earpiece and Elizabeth used her lapel microphone to narrate our walks as well as to talk to us better with many other people around. This allowed her to continue to narrate as we walked along narrow paths and up/down staircases. It also helped a lot when in smaller rooms with other people as she didn't have to yell to be heard and this also didn't disturb other guests.

Amber was fantastic,... - Amber was fantastic, while my Daughter (15yrs) is very into English History. She said she even found out a few new things. Amber was very informative with a wealth of knowledge & answered any questions people had. The earphones/headsets made it easy to listen to Amber.
