It includes so much of the London sites. Jeremy was knowledge informative and interesting. Highly recommend.
Good tour, but very fast walking. Not recommend for anyone with leg or back issues
We loved the opening ceremony and getting first look at Crown Jewels. Loved seeing the Horse Guard, that was a highlight. We left before we got to Buckingham Palace, as tour guide was walking very fast and one member in our group just could not keep up.
Excellent tour, well worth it!
Great tour of the tower along with boat and walking tour of other London sites. Nathan was a great guide, extremely knowledgeable and witty. We enjoyed it immensely.
Fun and Educational!
Our tour guide Nathan was outstanding
Need more time at the primary site
Nathan did an excellent job telling us the history of the tower and the key ceremony. He was very informative. In my opinion, where this tour is lacking is that there is not enough time to explore more of the Tower grounds and buildings. Once Nathan’s initial presentation was completed, my wife and I set off to see the Crown Jewels. After that we went straight to the White Tower. We did manage to see all three floors of the White Tower, but felt rushed keeping an eye on the clock. And unfortunately, when we gathered for the boat ride on the Thames, there was a lengthy delay between our arrival at the wharf and the boats arrival. That time could have been used to explore more of the Tower of London or all to see it at a slower pace.
