Interesting and well paced tour. Guide was very knowledgeable without delivering too many heavy facts. Ear pieces didn’t work that well as another tour guide was on the same frequency/channel

Linda was an excellent guide. Provided key historical facts without being boring. Must do to beat the crowds and to leisurely see the Crown Jewels in particular.
