Early birds get the best access! - I love taking tours that get in before the crowds. This tour not only was in before everyone, but we were also treated to the unlocking of the Tower by the guards.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a GREAT personality. He made it one of the more memorable tours we’ve ever taken.
The Crown Jewels were stunning!

Tower of London Early Access - Really interesting tour and early access gets you in to see the Crown Jewels before the huge crowds. Excellent tour guide provided lots of insight to the history of the Tower and the surrounding buildings.

Great experirnce - Jane was excellent, very insightful and helpful. My wife is disabled and she was made comfortable and included-this was much appreciated. Trick is to go early before the crowds start.

Tower of London - This was amazing. Our guide was very informative and personable.
And her name was Amber. 😁 She gave us so much history that I didn’t know.
Thank you Amber

Guy's introduction to British dry wit - We had the pleasure of being in the capable hands of Guy the Guide for our tour.
Guy's knowledge and great humour elevated our Tower of London experience to greater heights.
Thanks again Guy, if we could you would be voted Blue Badge holder of the year.

Great experience - The guide was a wealth of knowledge. And being for the opening was an unforgettable experience. The only thing I would complain about is that it is very hard on the legs. Very few places to sit and the cobblestones and stairs were difficult at times

Time wasted. - First off the coordinator with the headsets wasn’t on time and then the headsets themselves were very staticky at times. The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. She got us into the Crown Jewels ahead of other groups. So all that was good. Once we exited the Crown Jewels, she proceeded to waste a lot of time. At one point, she had us all sit down on benches so she could talk. While all this was happening, more and more people poured in and it became extremely crowded. Possibly she should have kept us moving while she was talking, but instead at least a half hour went by while we stood by the grass and then sat on the benches. I paid for early access for a reason. For these reasons I felt the experience was just average.

Not enough Beef, too much filler. - Frustrating and not worth the time or money. Basically, I paid 130+ for early access. Our guide, Oliver, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable but minimally informative. Instead, 85% of the tour was making small talk with the other guests, while 10% was information from the map/guide, and 5% was new, interesting, and awesome. Sadly, I feel like I would have seen much more had we not stood around chatting for 2 hours.
