This tour was selected by my 14 year old grandson. Steph was extremely knowledgeable and made certain to include my grandson throughout the tour. I would highly recommend the tour and Steph!

An absolutely brilliant private tour led by Andrew, an experienced Blue Badge Guide. History, anecdotes, details, and facts as we roamed throughout the Tower complex at a comfortable pace. Two Seniors, two adults, and two teens in our group and we all enjoyed Andrew’s descriptions.

Sean is excellent. He knows his history and lays it out very clearly about the Tower and everything that happened there. It was unfortunate that he was unable to accompany us inside the Crown jewels exhibit and the Tower itself because of the summer school break, but that was not his fault and he was very good at explaining to us what we would be seeing when we went in. I would highly recommend Sean for other tours and he is very knowledgeable about the history of the UK and especially London. He’s also a very nice man.
One thing that was not on our tour, but I would recommend it is the torture chamber exhibit.

My family loved this tour and mostly because of our amazing tour guide!! Danny (Danielle) had us laughing from the start. She was engaging, impressive with her extensive history knowledge, and made the tour so much fun for each of us, she’s a great storyteller.

The hype about Trudy is real! She was incredible, knowledgeable, engaging and definitely THE reason for our wonderful experience with two teenage boys at the Tower of London. Don’t think a second more about booking this tour. We loved it!

Trudy was an amazing tour guide. She has so much interesting knowledge about the tower and its history. She brought this tour to life. We’ve had many private tours in many different countries and she is one of the best we’ve ever had. Great job!

Linda was amazing. So knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. I would totally recommend a private tour to get a true understanding of the tower, its history and stories in a small setting. I would definitely recommend to anyone going to London. We had no issues or problems. Very easy to book and they definitely communicated. Again, thank you Linda for an awesome memory
