Torture, Executions, Crown Jewels - what more could one ask?! - First, our guide Paul was fantastic. Knowledgeable, organized, informative, funny - he made the tour as outstanding as it was. He was clearly engaged with all of us and passionate about the history of the Tower. We learned a tremendous amount and enjoyed every second of the tour.

Great tour, lousy meeting instructions. - The guide was very good. Informative and very knowledgeable of the London Tower.
Only criticism is that Viator did not provide adequate information on the exact meeting point. It was very difficult to find. Not only did my wife and I have a problem but a number of other couples had the same issue. It made a few people late for the tour to begin.

Exceptional tour guide, Viator meeting location unclear - Richard was an exceptional tour guide, even recited poetry written at the Tower. Viator tickets said to meet at Tower Hill which is a whole area. Should have specified Tower Hill Tube Station Entrance. We met Richard’s group by accident 1/2 hr into tour
