Tower Tour with Crown Jewels - Great Tower of London tour. Our guide did a great job of explaining what and why happened here. It gets crowded so I recommend going as early as possible. The Crown Jewels were stunning. The history of the tower area, when, explained by our guide, was fantastic.

A must do tour - John was an amazing guide. It was worth it to go on the VIP tour as the meeting with AJ the Yeoman Warder was wonderful. John also helped up navigate the queues and have a fantastic experience.

This tour was excellent.... - This tour was excellent. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Tower's history. The Tower itself is incredible. We traveled with our young kids (ages 8 and 5) and both kids enjoyed the tour. The kids especially enjoyed meeting the Beefeater. Overall, this was a great tour and well worth the price.

Great day - This was a great day. Warren was a great tour guide and was very informative. We hung around after the tour and went through the other parts of the Tower that Warren suggested and had a blast.

Highlight of our trip - This has been the highlight of our trip so far! The Tower is an amazing part of history, but our guide, Warren, brought the history to life!
Warren provided exceptional insight and guided us to items we should not miss. Without his guidance, it would have been overwhelming.
Highly recommend this tour!
