Galina was so wonderful. Well worth tour - I apologize for the late review but I did my tour of Tower of London with Galina and she was a superb tour guide for my mother and I in August. I had used the same tour company for Westminister Abbey and both tours exceeded expectations. I received a text day prior regarding my guide and meeting place. Galina was full of knowledge, and took her time explaining all the details and stories of the Tower of London in a way that entertained us. She had props showing us picture cards of the Crown Jewel to explain each one to us before we went into see the Crown Jewels, so when we got into to the Crown Jewel section of the Tour we knew what we were looking at. It really helped my mom and I understand everything very well. Galina made the day so much fun for mom and I. She was kind, enthusiastic and we learned so much from her. I am so grateful for Galina. I 100% recommend her as a tour guide. Thank you so much Galina. If we didnt have a individual private tour, I do not think mom and I would have enjoyed the day as much. I fully recommend a private tour as there are so many secrets to the Tour of London, and with a private tour you can ask as many questions as you want and take your time! Tickets are included in the tour

Tower of London private tour - Our guide lucy was fabulous. She went above and beyond after I made a booking error and we were 30 mins late. Lucy met us at our hotel and walked us to the Tower of London. Lucy was so knowledgeable and the experience would not have been anywhere near as amazing without her. Thanks Lucy you are the best!!

Lucy The Powerful Storyteller - Lucy was our amazing guide. She chatted with us about Tower history while the Tower opened and the initial line dissipated. We walked right in and toured the Tower while enjoying her amazing storytelling abilities. She was one of our top guides of the week!

Best Tour - This was by far one of the most interesting and best tours that we did on our entire week trip of Paris and London. Lucy was an incredible tour guide. She kept all of our attention with age range of 12 to 53. She makes the history interesting and is a wonderful storyteller. Could not recommend her any more highly.

Tower Tour - An impressive collection of structures with a long and interesting history. Seeing the crown jewels (behind glass and on a people mover) was the tour's highlight, and as others have mentioned, do that first before the queues lengthen. Our guide helped us navigate the buildings and displays, pointing out historically significant facts. (I'd be curious to take the free Yoeman Warder's tour to compare information.) There are some informational displays near the exhibits, but few go into deep historical detail, which we wished would have been included. Overall, an interesting tour, but would have liked more deeper historical context/facts/trivia.
