Fantastic Private tour of the Tower of London - We had an amazing personalized private tour of the Tower of London. Our guide. Mehru, was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the history of the Tower and the royal lineage. She took the time to explain everything we saw. Mehru was friendly and very fun to listen to. My adult daughter and I highly enjoyed this experience! The tour company was also extremely easy to work with and accommodated our schedule and requests. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Tower of London tour - Galina was amazing and way beyond our expectations. Our cruise ship was late, causing her to have to wait for us, which she handled flawlessly. Knowledgable guide. Insightful. Very adept at working our way thru the Tower of London to minimize crowds. Absolutely recommend her for future travellers.

The solo guide is by far... - The solo guide is by far the best way to experience The Tower. Our guide was super knowledgeable, funny and friendly. She engaged our teenagers very well and made it fun for all of us. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour with Marina...the Time Flew By & We Learned So Much! - I am a lover of all things Tudor-related; my adult kids, not so much. Our guide, Marina, met us with an engaging smile & kept the kids' attention the entire time. Her clever playing card introduction to the Tower Kings really set the mood & provided a great start, transitioning from the moat/exotic pets; raven sanctuary, the White Tower/Courtyard and so forth. I cannot say enough good things about this tour; please put this one on your list!

Lucy was awesome! - This is the only way to see the Tower of London!! Lucy really brought the history alive, taking our group through centuries of British monarchs. It was fascinating to hear about intrigue and murder in the very rooms in which it all happened. We have young people in our family, ranging in age from 10 to 17 years, and they were spellbound. I would imagine that visiting the tower of London in a large group or without a guide would be a pretty dry experience. This was so entertaining and educational at the same time. Well worth it!

Not just a Tower; whole complex - Tour guide was wonderful. She helped a mobility impaired person in our group get the most out of the visit. Could not see where Ann Boleyn was buried due to renovations which was disappointing but saw the ravens, beefeaters, execution site, Traitor's Gate, and more. Tower was much more than expected and had a great time.
