Best way to brighten up a gloomy London day - I'd never been to London before and wanted to get an overview of some of the history, and this certainly did not disappoint! The guide, Maria, was incredibly knowledgable and not only provided us with an huge level of detail, but also handled plenty of questions from one of the youngest (and most enthusiastic) members of the group with grace and tact. The weather was miserable, as one would unfortunately have to expect in this part of the world, but she made great efforts to bring us into shelters and sneaky alcoves at every possible opportunity to keep us as comfortable as possible.
The tour itself was awe inspiring. The castle is in a very central location (duh), and was magnificent. I hadn't previously known what a Beefeater was, but it was exciting to learn and speak to one - it felt like being part of some private history.
All in all I would highly recommend this tour. Dress for the weather, and enjoy the history

Tour - Guide was very good. Beefeater was OK. This is hit or miss as you don't know who you will get. Was a little rushed at the end.
