5.00Comprehensive and in depth tour experience. The Tower of London is so big with so much history we wanted a guide to help us take it all in. Denisa did just that. She took the time to show us around and explain everything. A very good experience and history lesson.
Enthusiastic guide and great storytelling

5.00A must tour. Only 7 in our group, allowing Denisa our guide, to keep it intimate. No need for in ear speakers. Relaxing, efficient and informative, denisa had alil the answers to our question and was an enthusiastic storyteller.
I would do it again!

5.00Denisa was exceptional. Somehow I ended up being the only person in this tour but she made it so engaging. I learned so much history about the Tower of London and I have lots of ideas about what to check out next time I'm here. I was really impressed with her knowledge about the Beefeaters and their residence at the Tower. Highly recommend!

5.00There is a lot to see. Tell your guide what you want to see (the jewels, rooms where Boleyn was held, Walter Raleigh’s rooms, armaments, etc.) A small group allows for flexibility. You will learn a lot! Claudia is wonderful!!
