The trip needs to be more detailed. The walking tour is 2. 1/2 hours but then the cruise is separate. We had to leave walking tour to make the cruise so that we could then make our 2:00 tour. If we had known we would have planned differently…

A very cool place to visit in London. Full of history! Our guide did great but wasn’t allowed in some of the towers. Definitely go into the central tower, the White Tower after the tour. It’s the coolest of the towers!

Mind blowing insight into British history. The building and collections of jewels, armour etc are spectacular and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Highly recommend over an unguided entry.
