“This tour was very good. We loved our tour guide, Louise. She was fun and knowledgeable. She also made sure everyone was there, which I have now come to realize doesn’t happen with every tour. Being able to go in the tower before everyone else was special. We were in a small group and it felt very personal. The Beefeater was very friendly and nice and we could ask him questions. Getting into see the Crown Jewels was also key as the crowds that soon descended were crazy. Highly recommend!!!”
