Leon provided history and humor - We had a great tour with Leon. His combination of knowledge and humor was just perfect for the content. Meeting with the Beefeater and hearing their history was a highlight. To be fair, I saw other guests going up to the Beefeaters in other areas and being able to talk with them so it could be a possibility without the tour but is not a guarantee. I’m glad I did the tour for the information as it added a lot to the experience.

VIP Tower of London, Crown Jewels and Beefeater Meet/Greet - Warren was our guide on this tour, and he was fabulous! We spent 3 hours on this tour, and it was worth it! The Beefeater was informative, humorous and impressive. Warren was full of information and knowledgeable about the history of the White Palace, the Beefeater community, the ravens, Henry VI, etc. Cannot recommend him and this tour enough!
