Tower of London with David - We enjoyed our early morning access tour of the Tower of London with our guide David. Highly recommend this tour as you get to experience the opening ceremony by the Beefeaters as they unlock the tower. There was sufficient time given to us to walk through the Crown Jewel display and various tower building rooms. David, our guide was witty and so knowledgeable. We learned during the tour that he is a decorated former law enforcement officer. He kept us on schedule and made us laugh throughout the tour. After the Tower, we had a nice ride on a river taxi on the Thames and then did a walking tour of Westminster to see Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey. Highly recommend this half day tour as a way to see one of London's most famous sites!

Fantastic - You must get DAVE! He is nothing short of a walking encyclopaedia! Knowledgeable, passionate & witty! I know ex copper & a Pom, how is it possible? With Dave (or Colin if you prefer) it just is! Disclaimer; I was not paid for this review sadly, nor did I tip Dave because I am a miserable Aussie. Thanks Dave it was really great to meet you.

Great tour and awesome guide - Dave was awesome. Made everyone feel engaged. Very knowledgeable. We highly recommend him. Disappointed about the changing of the guard cancelled, but not his fault. Tour started and ended on time. Highly recommend the early entry with the key ceremony, we had uncrowded room in the jewels

Never again through Viator - Wrong information to meet tour guide so missed our tour. Alleged 24/7 help service nonexistent. Tried to avail of refund via link in app and it wouldn't even open. I had to pay at the desk of tower of London for additional tickets for upset family. Viator claims to be easy and worry free when booking it was the complete opposite
