So many fun stories and he was super knowledgeable about everything. Any question we had, he would answer in full and based on where the group was from, he wove in relevant stories. You can tell that he’s very interested in history and is a good storyteller.
We can’t wait to use this tour group again!
We really enjoyed this one!

Our Tower of London tour was certainly a highlight of our week in London. Adrian, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable about London and its history. He answered all our questions about history, customs, architecture, and more -- with confidence and humor. We arrived a little late to the meeting place (we felt terrible!), but Adrian was kind and patient; he did not let our mistake negatively influence the tour. This was our third "The Tour Guy" tour (others were in Venice and in Florence in 2022), and all these tours have been worth every penny: they make travelers' limited time at museums and places of interest meaningful and trips memorable. We will certainly take more of your enriching tours when we travel. Thank you, Adrian, for making our Tower of London trip fun, easy, and informative.

Tour guide Jeremy made the best of a local march that made it difficult to navigate to the Thames. He was engaging and gave us plenty of perfect clean humor in between all of his knowledge of the sights. Thank you Tour Guy…

Our tour guide Alison was absolutely wonderful - very knowledgeable and lots of fun. I had no idea that the Tower was so large and the Royal Palaces inside the Tower dated from William the Conqueror. Of course, the Crown Jewels are fabulous. I’m a senior and use a cane but had no trouble navigating the Tower. I would highly recommend this tour.

I wish I could give this more than five stars! Our guide Nicholas was so engaging! As we walked around town he had interesting facts about all the local spots but when we arrived at the Tower, the fun really started! This included not only the informative guided walking tour but also a canal ride. Definitely worth the price!!
5 Star Tour!
