Great experience, highly recommended! - Our guide, Ben, was very accomodating, knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time observing the opening ceremony, visiting the crown jewels and learning about the Tour of London's fascinating legacy. Well worth the money, highly recommended.

Worth it! - Worth the early wake up call time. Incredible experience to witness the 900 year old ceremony of the kings keys opening the gates. Small group, no crowd. Great tour guide, lots of bits of info on the tower that you wouldn't have walking yourself around alone. The only downside is they don't give you enough time to tour the grounds of the tower before heading over to the bridge. I would skip the bridge and tour more of the tower.

Royal Secrets and Raven Mischief: A Tower Experience to Remember! - What an absolutely stellar experience! This tour felt like a private VIP adventure from start to finish. Our guide made the day! He was incredibly knowledgeable, had a fantastic rapport with the staff and Beefeaters, and created an experience unlike any other we’ve had with a tour.
We were lucky to snag this last-minute before a flight, and even though we had to leave a little early, we’re so glad we made it! From witnessing the opening ceremony and being first in line to see the Crown Jewels, to learning the rich history of the Tower—both past and present, including the soldiers who serve there—it was an unforgettable journey through time.
A true highlight was meeting Jubilee and Poppy, two of the (extra naughty!) seven resident ravens. Their antics added a delightful touch to an already incredible tour.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an absolute must-do for anyone visiting London. Highly recommend it!

Wonderful Knowledge Packed Tour! 5 Stars - There is a lot of walking but the tour guide did an excellent job of sharing the history. Westminister Abbey was beautiful and I didn't know of St. James Palace until the tour.

Tower of London - About a 3-4 hour tour that is well worth the price of admission. Our guide, Ben, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour. Note: as walking thru the tower and viewing the Crown Jewels be sure to take the time to converse with the guards and ask them for inside information about the jewels and the buildings especially the individual towers. The stories they can tell you are priceless and you won’t hear or see them anywhere else.

Up close and personal with the Crown Jewels - Don was a fantastic Blue Badge Guide, however the meeting time and tour time was actually one hour later than advertised, so a dozen people showed up at the meeting spot more than an hour before the guide arrived — that extra hour of sleep would have been appreciated. That said, the opportunity to spend extra unhurried time with the Crown Jewels was fantastic! Would definitely do this again.

We couldn't find the guide and missed the tour; Company refused to give us a refund. - Beware when booking this tour. The instructions we were given to meet the guide were very confusing and incomplete. We arrived at the spot identified on the email and there was no one there. It's a very large area. The ticket booths are also closed this early. We tried to contact the tour company, but there was no answer this early in the morning. We missed the tour and they refused to give us a refund. I really wonder if this is a scam and they make it difficult to find the guide so they get your money without providing a service? If you book this tour, be very specific about where you're supposed to meet and get a phone number in advance (that someone will answer) so that you can call someone if you can't find the guide.
