Our guide John was great. Knowledgeable, informative and very pleasant. While with John our tour was very nice. However, once inside the tower we were disappointed with the cost incurred for what we saw, experienced.
Mario_D, Jul 2026
John was our guide and he made our tour extremely interesting. He is very knowledgeable in all topics related to these buildings and the people involved. Would highly recommend you take this tour and ask for John!
Gary_M, Jul 2026
It was a very interesting and informative tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very kind. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and seeing the changing of guards and Beefeaters around the castle grounds. We would highly recommend this tour!
Jennifer_H, Jul 2026
Wonderful, informative tour. John was very knowledgeable and a great guide. He even gave us tips for other things around London, including the best fish and chips. Would definitely recommend this tour if you really want to learn about the tour and it's history.
Be sure to get an early tour and beat the crowds.

John_E, Jun 2026
It was hot so review might be a little biased. Gentleman was chatty and hard to hear sometimes. Otherwise ok.
Melyssa_P, Jun 2026
Mark was a wonderful tour guide! He was hilarious and very knowledgeable. He made our tour very memorable
Byron_W, Jun 2026
Be ready for a lot of walking up and down the cobblestones, but it’s a great opportunity to see the history of the tower. Our guide Ben was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and showed us all the great spots and provided a ton of extra information. Ben had a lot of energy and showed his pasdion for the history along the way. He paid special attention to everyone in the group. Plus, he’s got jokes!
Loraine_H, Jun 2026
Great tour of this very large complex our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She seemed to be fighting a bad head cold and was hard to understand at times, but she fought through it. Nice view of the Crown Jewels
David_A, Jun 2026
Pretty informative tour, would recommend. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny, but also a bit scattered at times. We also had a problem finding our guide even though the instructions were clear and we were there early - when I called the tour company, they immediately connected us, which was great.
Amy_L, Jun 2026
The tour was a great experience. Ben was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely this tour is a must do!

Fia was a great guide. She engaged the adults and kids in our group. Showed us the highlights and gave us tips for when we went out on our own. Highly recommend.
JoAnn_R, May 2026
You will walk a lot, there’s a lot to see, pay attention to the guide, John, as he is a very knowledgeable and engaging individual.
Teri_R, May 2026
Had a great time on the tour. Met some people and shared stories. Went to all the tower buildings. Nice

Our guide was quite good. Kept things interesting with some great stories. We all thought we had early access but realized it was easy access so be careful when booking that you are getting what you want
JoelleLee_N, May 2026
This was an awesome tour. Saw as much of the Tower of London that was open to the public. Our guide was extremely informative. Being able to see the crown jewels was special. The torture info was interesting too - in a creepy way. Definitely recommend this one
Lynn_E, May 2026
My husband and I learned a lot of history there and Leon was an excellent guide and storyteller. The jewels were and crowns etc were fabulous. Just be aware there is a lot of walking and steps but it was worth it.
Danelle_S, May 2026
Such a great tour of a highly historic spot in London. Our tour guide was incredible, navigating us through the crowds during the London Marathon was a huge feat in itself! She was highly knowledgable on all the history and stories about the Tower, providing tons of color to what would otherwise been a self guided, boring tour without her. I highly recommend this tour to get the full breadth of the significance of all the many sights, architecture and stories of this centuries old landmark.
Eileen_G, Apr 2026
Warren was a fabulous & knowledgeable tour guide. He was also very accommodating with my husband’s inability to stand for long periods of time and would make sure to stop by seating areas when explaining the history and what we were seeing whenever possible. A Blue Badged guided tour is absolutely the best. Well worth the cost.
Valerie_M, Apr 2026
John was an amazing tour guide! Very helpful especially as our tour was scheduled (our mistake!) the day of the London Marathon. Very informative and fun!
Nancy_P, Apr 2026
Our guide John was a terrific guide! He was not only very knowledgeable but had stories that made the history interesting! I came away with a perspective that was much more nuanced than when I started. John is passionate and you can tell he enjoys what he does! I am very appreciative of that! I would highly recommend this tour especially with John!!
NicholasM_H, Apr 2026
Fantastic tour! Friendly and safe and courteous drivers and guide. The coach was very comfortable also.
John_W, Apr 2026
Terrific pace and depth balance. Entertaining and informative for kids and adults. We were able to learn in an admittedly abbreviated and fast pace but with a surprising amount of information. When traveling from afar schedules can be tight and accumulated fatigue is a concern but this tour avoided all of that.
Michael_W, Mar 2026
Enjoyed the tour greatly. Our tour guide, Donnie, was informative, entertaining and fun. Prepare to walk, but it was mostly level.
Karen_T, Mar 2026
Get there early. The 2:30 tour did not allow for time to explore the places recommended on our own. Rushed at the end.
Guide was fabulous at telling the stories.
Nancy_T, Mar 2026
Ben was a wonderful guide. Informative and very funny. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend!
elisalsandler, Mar 2026
John was extremely informative about the history of London England. He was very entertaining and held my attention the entire 3 1/2 hours.
Gary_S, Mar 2026
It would be a good tour if your party had a good guide. We had Leon and he focused his.attention on a only one group and was super opiniated about everything, such as housing prices in the states, unrelated to the tour and was flippant in his delivery. etc.
Ben_W, Mar 2026
Our tour was lead by a large green fist and narrated by Marc. So much information to absorb with the perfect amount of humor and fun.
