Tour guide was very personable and very knowledgeable. We were given time of our own to explore after the initial introduction, which was great. Take time to visit all the towers. The boat tour of the Thames following was also well done.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the London Tower. Very friendly and gave great advice for lunch spots. It was very helpful to have the early pass because the tourists fill in quickly. Saved us a lot of time.

This was a great tour. The guide was wonderful. And even when the boat was cancelled (not their fault at all) they figured out a work around with no issue!!
