5.00Fabulous tour with Warren, our fantastic and informative tour guide. Seeing the traditional opening g of the tower ceremony was really good and then getting to see Crown Jewels having had them previously described to you by our guide, made it even better more meaningful. We even got to see instde the Medieval tower as well as walking over the Tower Bridge. Warren’s in depth historical knowledge and passion for it all, brought the history to life. On top of it all, he was just a delightful person! Thank you Warren J Forsyth, you really made this one of the best tours we have been on!👍

5.00This tour was exceptionally worthwhile. Our guide John was in equal parts highly knowledgeable about all aspects of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and engaging/entertaining with comments and stories about the venue and its colorful line of inhabitants over the centuries. We thoroughly enjoyed close proximity to and conversation with high-ranking Beefeater guards and front row status for the changing of the Tower Guard. John was very mindful of the group’s varying physical capabilities and herded us cats quite well. Just FYI for “mature” travelers like my husband and myself—be prepared for inclines, uneven stone pavers, and plenty of stairs, some of which are spiral, steep, and quite narrow. Anyone with mobility issues may need to forego many areas of the towers and bridge. Several of our party opted to leave the tour early for that reason. Read the description carefully, including any and all links to “Additional Information.”

5.00The VIP early access was great way to see the Tower of London. First in the door to see opening ceremony and first in line to see Crown Jewels! The guide, John, was great and provide expert advice on how to use free time to make it through all the exhibits.

5.00We had a great time on our tour. Oddly enough the squirrels were a highlight for me. Very friendly and sweet little ones. The history was great and our tour guide did an excellent job of getting us priority access to things.

5.00Our guide, Don, was fabulous! We learned so much from him. Being able to watch the opening ceremony was so special! We were literally the first group allowed in to see the Crown Jewels, thus no crowd at all! Pacing was excellent and his knowledge of the history was impeccable! Definitely recommend booking this tour!
