The best tour for The Tower of London / Opening Ceremony. Don’t miss this one. - This was a very enjoyable tour, and Warren, our fearless guide, made it so interesting. He was funny and also provided so much interesting and informative history about everything that had to do with The Tower of London. This is the tour to take. Well worth it. Thank you Warren. We appreciated you!

Great tour - Warren was the best. - My wife and I went on this tour earlier this week. Our tour guide, Warren, was incredible. He had so much knowledge and made this a great tour. It was amazing to see everything that we had only heard about in history class. Warren knew exactly where to go so we got the best view of the Tower opening and the Crown Jewels. Warren also made sure that we had enough free time to wander around and explore on our own. That said, he was always available to answer questions or offer suggestions on what to look for. I can’t recommend this enough. If you want a unique tour with a knowledge and personable guide, and short line (!), go see Warren. He’s the best!

Fantastic tour with guide John - A wonderful hassle free tour. John, our guide, was fantastic—friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He’s a natural storyteller who keeps you engaged without overwhelming you with too many historical details. His enthusiasm really stands out, and he managed the tour smoothly and systematically while still giving us plenty of time to explore on our own.

Great Tour - Got early access to see the opening ceremony. The beefeater speech was fun and had a lot of info about the tower. Got to the crown jewels quickly so minimal crowds. Our tour guide Ben was great. Enjoyed all his puns about the tower! The first step onto the glass walkway on the bridge was unsettling but made a great picture. Glad we took the tour and recommend it.

Amazing experience - Such an amazing experience. Seeing the Tower of London without having to wait in any cues was amazing. The best part of our experience was our guide, Ben. He was funny, kind, patient and very well informed. If you sign up for this tour, ask for Ben!

Overall good experience - John was our guide and he did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable and gave lots of stories full of historical information. We enjoyed the opening ceremony very much. Our only complaint is we felt too rushed. We didn't have enough time to see it all. We had the guide for the bridge entry also and had to leave for that tour and did not really need the guide. He just took us to the entry and left. The only benefit was there wasn't a long line with the guide. Bottom line is, we would have rather had more time at the Tower and gone to the bridge on our own when we were finished at the Tower.
