The Best Tower of London Tour Ever!! - This was a wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Marina) who walked us through the history of the Tower of London, it's prisoners, the executions that took place, and all of the royalty that resided there through the ages. Marina was very good at explaining the succession of kings using many visual aids (which we appreciated very much). You could tell that she really enjoyed explaining all the detailed information she had, which made this a very enjoyable tour. We also were able to view the Royal Crown Jewels, and with Marina's explanation of what to look for while viewing, we were able to see things we would have missed. This private tour was worth every cent, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves England history.

Worth paying extra for the Tower of London private tour - The Tower of London is certainly one of the most important attractions in London to visit. It is highly recommended to set aside several hours to enjoy all the history and majesty of that experience.

Private tour of Tower of London - Galina was an excellent tour guide. She texted the day before to tell us where to meet her. As a Blue Badge holder, she was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us interested throughout the tour. She guided us around the Tower of London to minimize queues and prepped us beforehand as to what we were going to see when we went to an area in which she was not allowed to talk to us. Her explanations of The Crown Jewels, along with the pictures she had, really prepared us for what we were going to see and the history behind them. It really improved the entire experience. At the end of the tour, she walked us the entire way to the tube station to ensure we got on the correct train. Definitely recommend this tour.

Loved it! - Lucy did a fantastic job navigating us around and getting us in places without long waits. We got the entire history of the tower and Lucy kept it fun and engaging for us, including my 12 and 15 year olds. Highly recommend!

Excellent guide - Our guide Lucy was fantastic. She kept our family engaged with great stories and was a pleasure to spend time with. The Tower itself is fascinating but it was the guide that made it an exceptional experience

Great guide, just okay company - Outstanding tour guide (Ben) that was wonderfully personable and knowledgeable. He rates 6-stars all day long. What doesn't is the fact that the company oversells how quiet and crowd-free it will be. We were early, and it wasn't. Their relentless marketing and pressure for an immediate review is also off-putting. It'd be nice to actually get home before getting pummeled by email and text.
