5.00Exceptionally knowledgeable tour guide, Adrianne. She always looked out for the well being and comfort of her group, especially when in competition with other groups. Beautiful weather.
The tour wasn't a river...

3.00The tour wasn't a river cruise at all! It was a public transport that took us up river to the Tower. Once there, the tour guide did more rambling than actually taking us into places of interest within the site. I would have preferred to see historical objects than just hear about them.

5.00The guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a great presence that made the tour enjoyable. The combination of the Tower of London visit and a scenic Thames River cruise provided a perfect blend of history and stunning views. Highly recommend!

2.00Tour guide was a friendly fellow but dull. Didn’t know what to do when two of the group skipped out without telling him. Waited 15 minutes in the rain, then he talked for ten minutes on a boring aspect of the tower obviously killing more time hoping they would reappear. We finally left, turning our headphones in.
So worth it!!! Definitely recommend.
