“A phenomenal tour! There was a nice balance of tour time and time touring on your own through the Tower. I appreciated seeing two different areas too - great use of the boat transport. If you get Jeremy as your guide, you won’t be disappointed. His level of knowledge is exceptional. 10/10 recommend!”
Review of the VIP Tower of London tour, with Crown Jewels, White Tower, timed entry, and a private Beefeater meeting.
“The tour guide was excellent—very personable and witty. We especially enjoyed the interaction with the Beefeater. That said, for a family with younger children (ours are 9 and 6), the tour felt quite long and very history-heavy, which made it harder for them to stay engaged.”

“We typically go on a walking tour of each city we visit. It’s a great way to get to know and become oriented in a city. This tour was interesting and educational. Many people have heard of, if not being familiar with, the icons of London, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Tower of London. This tour put these in perspective with London’s history beginning more than 1,000 years ago. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, respectful, responsible. He made London come alive. The tour weaved its way through parts of London that have history going back more than 1,000 years. We highly recommend this tour and guide.”

Review of the Tower of London, 24-hour Big Bus pass, and Thames cruise, with practical advice on timing, value, traffic, and booking.
“This was a terrible experience from late buses to operators who said they sent messages (but never did). We spent almost $500 on this package and barely benefited from it. I suppose in hindsight I should’ve considered traffic but it was ridiculous. We waited 35 minutes for one bus that took over an hour to get across town. We barely made our London Tower trip and given that this takes 2 hours we had no time for the river cruise. The operator(s) said we couldn’t reschedule even though everything that happened up until that point was out of our control. For this cost we used the bus three times and…”
