Wonderful afternoon-Great Guide - We loved our guide Dan. He was so knowledgable, and he had a great personality. Of course the crown jewels were the highlight. Dan was so sweet to tell us to take our time in looking at them. In fact, he never rushed us at all. We just enjoyed the whole experience.

An excellent way to see the Tower of London - Lucy was our guide for a group of 6. She was very knowledgeable and had excellent speaking and presentation skills. She took us through in an interesting order, starting with the crown jewels so as to try and avoid the crowds. Seeing numerous other large groups I was so happy to be in this smaller group. Highly recommend!

First Class tour - James did a fantastic job and his depth of knowledge is incredible. We can’t recommend this tour with James highly enough, this is definitely the way to do the tour as you come away such an intimate understanding of the history. James gives plenty of time to explore the exhibits at your own pace, and his explanation of some of the minor points of interest you’d probably miss in a big group or doing the tour without an guide are fascinating. We were able locate James and the start of the tour at the Sundial easily even on a cloudy day, so the whole process was easy. Don't book “economy class” book this “first class” tour. Craig&Vivien

Tower of London - Use a guide as the site is so historical you will kiss a lot without using a guide. Our guide James had an amazing amount of knowledge and made our time at the tower amazing.
