Our family booked this private tour of the Tower of London and had the pleasure of having Carmen as our tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about the history of all the sites along our walking journey and even volunteered to take our pictures throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and enthusiastically recommend Carmen for the tour.

Soggy but great tour

Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient. It was a rainy day and we got soaked but persevered because she was able to keep the kids intrigued and full of fun and interesting facts.

Isabel (sp?) was fantastic. Patient and knowledgable, she guided us through the Tower and its history at a great pace and with information that was easily absorabable. She was one of our teenage daughter's favorite tour guides in London. We highly recommend booking with her for any future tours.

Excellent experience with fantastic guide Andy!

My family of four - including two teenagers- had a wonderful time on this well- planned and executed tour experience. The boat ride on the Thames was comfortable and covered in the light rain. Our guide Andy was enthusiastic and so well-informed pointing out architectural and other points of interest along the ride. It also was lovely experiencing the Tower of London complex with Andy. He offered a great deal of history and context throughout the exterior complex and even gave us a helpful sense of the jewels prior to entering the display area. He also gave us ideas of places to check out after our tour. The tour was a highlight of our visit to London. We highly recommend it.

We had a little trouble connecting with our guide at first, but that was resolved rather quickly. Marc was such a fun guide and absolutely made the experience for our group. The line for the Crown Jewels was extremely long, so long that he said he had never seen it that long before but Marc told us so many stories about the Tower and entertained our group the entire time - the wait seemed to fly by. We really enjoyed his creativity and humor and would highly recommend a guide. I think our kids would have been so bored (with the waiting) without him. Instead, we all came away with a lot of knowledge on the history of the Tower and loved the experience!

Jean was the BEST! I tried to rate her higher but you only go up to 5! She was kind, knowledgeable and easy to speak with. We were in Italy in June and had several tours there in addition to the ones we have taken here and none compared to Jean she is a rare gem!!
