Tower of London - This was an awesome tour. Saw as much of the Tower of London that was open to the public. Our guide was extremely informative. Being able to see the crown jewels was special. The torture info was interesting too - in a creepy way. Definitely recommend this one

No torture involved!!! - My husband and I learned a lot of history there and Leon was an excellent guide and storyteller. The jewels were and crowns etc were fabulous. Just be aware there is a lot of walking and steps but it was worth it.

Super knowledgable tour - worth the guide! - Such a great tour of a highly historic spot in London. Our tour guide was incredible, navigating us through the crowds during the London Marathon was a huge feat in itself! She was highly knowledgable on all the history and stories about the Tower, providing tons of color to what would otherwise been a self guided, boring tour without her. I highly recommend this tour to get the full breadth of the significance of all the many sights, architecture and stories of this centuries old landmark.

Blue Badge guided tours are the best - Warren was a fabulous & knowledgeable tour guide. He was also very accommodating with my husband’s inability to stand for long periods of time and would make sure to stop by seating areas when explaining the history and what we were seeing whenever possible. A Blue Badged guided tour is absolutely the best. Well worth the cost.

John was a terrific guide!!! - Our guide John was a terrific guide! He was not only very knowledgeable but had stories that made the history interesting! I came away with a perspective that was much more nuanced than when I started. John is passionate and you can tell he enjoys what he does! I am very appreciative of that! I would highly recommend this tour especially with John!!

Great experience - Terrific pace and depth balance. Entertaining and informative for kids and adults. We were able to learn in an admittedly abbreviated and fast pace but with a surprising amount of information. When traveling from afar schedules can be tight and accumulated fatigue is a concern but this tour avoided all of that.
