Worth it!!!!!10/10 - Buy this tour!!!! It is absolutely worth every penny. John Gunnery was so fun and knew a ton! Arrive a little early and check out the Four Seasons. It is gorgeous inside and out. We got to meet with a beefeater and hear the history of the keys and see the changing of the guard. We entered to see the Crown Jewels first and there was literally seven of us in the room. No one was there!!!! The tour is early and it’s definitely worth it. It’s like you have the whole place to yourself for the first couple of hours. All of the tower was EMPTY. School children and family start to show up around 10.

Fabulous! - Fabulous tour with Warren, our fantastic and informative tour guide. Seeing the traditional opening g of the tower ceremony was really good and then getting to see Crown Jewels having had them previously described to you by our guide, made it even better more meaningful. We even got to see instde the Medieval tower as well as walking over the Tower Bridge. Warren’s in depth historical knowledge and passion for it all, brought the history to life. On top of it all, he was just a delightful person! Thank you Warren J Forsyth, you really made this one of the best tours we have been on!👍

Awe Inspiring History - This tour was exceptionally worthwhile. Our guide John was in equal parts highly knowledgeable about all aspects of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and engaging/entertaining with comments and stories about the venue and its colorful line of inhabitants over the centuries. We thoroughly enjoyed close proximity to and conversation with high-ranking Beefeater guards and front row status for the changing of the Tower Guard. John was very mindful of the group’s varying physical capabilities and herded us cats quite well. Just FYI for “mature” travelers like my husband and myself—be prepared for inclines, uneven stone pavers, and plenty of stairs, some of which are spiral, steep, and quite narrow. Anyone with mobility issues may need to forego many areas of the towers and bridge. Several of our party opted to leave the tour early for that reason. Read the description carefully, including any and all links to “Additional Information.”

Towe Early is Best - The VIP early access was great way to see the Tower of London. First in the door to see opening ceremony and first in line to see Crown Jewels! The guide, John, was great and provide expert advice on how to use free time to make it through all the exhibits.
