The jewels are the ultimate, along with understanding the history behind the items - Our tour guide was enormously knowledgeable on entire history behind the Tower of London along with every single building and item contained in that facility. Clearly the crown jewels are the ultimate item to see on this trip and they did not disappoint.

Peter the Charlatan tour guide - We had the worst guide of all the tours I’ve ever had. His name was Peter and he was clueless about the Tower of London. He would make up the most abject lies and pretend they were historical facts. Even my 14 year old son was rolling his eyes at the stuff he said. I paid over $800 for a vip tour and left feeling that I had been made a complete fool of. I’m writing this review 2 years later as I’m warily about to book another Viator tour in Barcelona. To be honest, I’ve been very happy with other Viator tours I’ve booked in the past, but this one was a complete waste of money.

Would rather have said you could not do this your as advertised than gone through this. Paid too much and guard confrs - Guide was not certified by the Tower of London to guide me. Your “guide” was confronted by the tower guard as not allowed. Tower guard let me in the venue as a courtesy but the guide was not allowed to speak within the tower walls and was warned not to enter by the Tower guard again without credentials. Will be looking for credit Igor this very expensive tour

Disappointed - Ok very nice guide, however English not his first language though. Also, honestly did not know very much about the Tower of London either. Disappointed considering the other Reviews here...
