Great Historic Tour

Rob_Q, Feb 2024

Our tour guide Aaron was a wealth of knowledge and ensured we saw all we needed to see. He had a great way to tell the history and he sure knew what he was talking about. It was impressive to see the layout and buildings and how well it has been preserved. How people would enter the fortified area on boat was easy to picture once explained. Very cool for sure.

“Best tour in London!”

michael_k, Aug 2023

We had Aaron for our tour guide. Wow, he was amazing. He gave us the most memorable tour of the Tower! Super knowledgeable and friendly and even had a doctorate degree which is super impressive. We had kids with us and he customized the tour to keep them interested, including our 9 year old daughter who said “this was the best tour she has ever been on!” We saw the Crown Jewels, the towers, walked the wall and even went into the White Tower to see armor and other historical artifacts. We even had a chance to watch some Beefeaters and Guards walk around. What was amazing was that it’s still a living, breathing area where the Warders still live and there are other residents that live there even when all other tourists are gone. I definitely recommend this tour and try to get Aaron! You I will learn so much more about the Tower of London with a tour guide like him rather than an audio guide. Thank you Aaron!!!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you so much for the amazing review - Aaron is delighted with your feedback and we are all excited to hear he was able to keep everyone of all ages engaged. See you again next time!

Our favorite tour!

Gavin was our favorite guide during our holiday! He knew exactly when to be in the right places. We were able to view the Crown Jewels with NO wait! His stories were animated, even to the point of ruining some childhood nursery rhymes! (lol) Gavin even made us lunch reservations at a great dive, which was the perfect way to end the morning.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you so much for the review James - Gavin is fantastic and will be delighted when he reads this! So glad you enjoyed your time with us.

Incroyable visite avec Mark

Claudine_C, Jul 2023

Mark est un guide incroyable. Très bon sens de l’humour, très connaissant. Il a le don de nous raconter l’histoire d’une façon simple et humoristique. Nous avons adoré la visite de la Tour de Londres avec lui. Merci beaucoup.
