Great tour with Ben at The Tower of London - We had a great day at the Tower of London with our guide Ben. He was wonderful, and knowledgeable. We were able to see everything without long waits because he knew which areas to visit first to avoid the crowds. We had a group of 8, and we all enjoyed this tour very much. It was a highlight of our trip!
