Worth it - Our tour guide that led us to the Beefeater was humorous, and kept us engaged until our meeting time. The Beefeater assigned to us was very informative, and ensured we got in to see the Crown Jewels before it got busy. He answered all the questions our small group had, and was very friendly and helpful with directions around the Tower.

Tower tour - Great experience. With this you can skip the regular line and get a quick history lesson from a tour guide. Natalie was ours and was excellent. Then in the tower you get a private tour from a beefeater which is a more personalized way to hear about the tower history and facts.

Unique experience with a Beefeater! - This was a special experience! Great way to get a head start on the day and skip the lines. My boyfriend was so excited to visit the Tower of London and having the private tour with the beefeater made it even better. Jo was our our tour guide at the start. She did a great job providing historical knowledge. Loved the experience!

Dave is the best warm up act for the beef eaters - We had our tour with Dave and he was absolutely fantastic. He really made it interactive and inclusive and personalised it to the groups interest ! Lots of belly chuckles along the way ! The beef eaters your itself was excellent and well worth every penny. We learnt a lot and escaped the massive crowds

5 Stars - Our guide was lovely and informative, and he gave us a card to get a discount at Starbucks. David was very funny and we really enjoyed both his part of the tour and the part with the Beefeater, who was also fantastic.

beefeater meeting worth the tour. - Excellent tour with Beefeater. Accidental meeting with the general of the fortress. Tour guide from tour company pleasant. Wished more detail on the tower history and less on London city. Understand they are integrated.

You need 4 hrs to see all... - You need 4 hrs to see all of it. Because there was an emergency, our tour guide wasn’t there & no replacement. The company is giving a partial refund. Otherwise, lots of history, worth seeing & the Beefeater was informative & friendly!

Overpriced and unnecessary. Save the cost and use a guidebook. - Not a “private” tour. Is small group tour and very overpriced for the time spent with guides- approximately 45 minutes. Much of tour is self guided in buildings. .
