5.00Our favorite thing we did in London! We learned so much. The history is incredible here. You’ll learn lots about the building itself and the monarchs. The crown jewel exhibit was much more in depth than I expected. Very impressive!!
Excellent tour combo!

5.00Kim's tour of the Tower of London was exceptional - his vast knowledge and engaging storytelling transported us through centuries of royal intrigue. Standing within those imposing walls (far larger than they appear from outside!) created a genuine connection to the dramatic history, particularly the haunting tale of the two princes highlighted in that compelling video presentation. The views across modern London also provided a striking contrast to the medieval fortress and made for great family pictures. Afterwards, the City Cruise from Tower Bridge to Westminster was the perfect complement - the crew's witty commentary on the city's architectural evolution made the journey both relaxing and informative. This combination offers tremendous value for experiencing London's historical and contemporary highlights.
The tour was enjoyable,...

5.00The tour was enjoyable, though it felt a bit rushed at times. We were really glad it was scheduled early, as it allowed us to beat the crowds and get a great view of the Crown Jewels.
Sal is an amazing tour guide
