Best Tour - Hands down the best Tower of London tour we could have asked for! Patrick, our guide, was an absolute wealth of knowledge—engaging, insightful, and full of fascinating stories that brought the history to life. I honestly could have spent all day just listening to him. If you’re planning a visit, having a guide like Patrick makes all the difference. Highly recommend!

Patrick Was Amazing!!! - Patrick was a fantastic guide. He showed us all the highlights and gave insight into the history of the tower and jewels. Definitely do the opening ceremony it’s totally worth it and getting the chance to see the beefeaters in action is an incredible moment you will not forget. Plus you get early access to the jewels.

10 out of 10! - The Tower of London tour was by far a highlight of our London trip. All thanks to Daniel, our amazing tour guide. It was myself, my husband, our 14 year old son, and our 11 year old daughter. As anyone with teenagers knows, they are super hard to impress (especially when it comes to anything with any historical significance). Thanks to Daniel, the kids walked away saying this was one of their favorite things from our 8 days in London. He not only walked us through the history of the Tower of London, but told it through rich and engaging stories that kept their interest.
Side note: there were only 15 in our group. They do give everyone headsets so you can hear the guide even when you aren’t next to him.
It was an early start (also not easy with teenagers). And more costly than we expected. But I would give it a 10 out of 10, definite recommend. Worth every penny. If you book this and Daniel is your guide, you are in for a real treat!
