TONS of information to take in! It was extremely helpful having a guide explain main points and history while waiting for us to go inside the castle. We did a half day tour and WOW was Michael amazing and knowledgable and we feel we got lucky to have him with us for a good part of the day! Highly recommend!

Lee is a great guide. He knows the name of every building in London. The tower of London visit was the best without the crowds.
