Fantastic tour that I highly recommend! Joe, our tour guide was amazing and so was our Beefeater who was very passionate, proud and highly engaged and entertaining. We truly learned a lot about London’s very rich history and culture with this tour. Please make sure to do the self guided tour of the entire premises afterwards as it is extremely worth it!
Both Joe and Barney (Michael) were amazing. Very knowledgeable and funny.
