  1. Diana A

    Our tour guide was spectacular. Very knowledgable.

  2. Steven_W

    We were traveling with 4 people. We arrived at the scheduled time and place. Our guide was prompt and the 4 of us were the only people taking the tour that day. The guide was a registered guide and was wearing the blue official guide badge. We could not have asked for a better guide. She gave a great tour of both locations.

  3. Diane R

    Rosa Maria was amazing! She was a joy to talk to and was a wealth of knowledge. I will use Viator to tour with again!

  4. Leora L

    The tour was terrible. The guide had such a thick accent , we could not understand her. Also, she couldn’t answer a lot of our questions. We were so so disappointed, we left an hour earlier . We would like to be reimbursed for a VERY expensive and horrible experience

    The Tower of London is a must do! Our tour guide was a little dull however, and that is unfortunate. We saw another group with a private guide who was animated and energetic, and we wished we were with that guide instead of ours. Our guide was very nice, it was simply that the energy level was low. If we had known ahead of time, we would have toured the Tower alone. The Tower Bridge was okay, but not a must do.

    Guide was Italian by origin. And spoke with a strong accent. Our kids are Norwegian. They simply could not understand what she was talking about. Very bad idea to have a non-english native speaker in the UK. I understand from the guide this is not the first time either.
    Smaller complaint is that even if you could understand what she was saying (I was the only one who could) then there were not enough annecdotes. Could have done the same myself with a guide book. Overall a complete waste of (a lot of) money. Very dissapointing.

  7. Bonnie M

    This is a very long and ambitious tour with a lot of walking, including up and down steps. It would have been nice to have some built-in time to allow for short sitting breaks . Our tour guide spoke English but with a very heavy European accent, so it was frequently difficult to understand what was being said. We were interested in seeing the overall complex, tower and jewels, but not in all the detailed history, so probably would have skipped over parts of the tour if we had opted for a self-guided one. On the other hand, history buffs may really like the details provided on the various kings and queens. The price was high for the value we felt we received.

    A little disappointing, the guide appeared to have a lot of knowledge but did not share that knowledge without constant questioning.

  9. wendynunes

    LOVED Wendy! She really incorporated my kids in the tour age 5 and 7. They listened with rapt attention. So glad we did this!

  10. Cheryll_B

    Great tour with knowledgable guide enjoyed it immensely

  11. Duke

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and full of energy. We toured the grounds and the Tower and saw the Crown Jewels, of course. We also walked across the Tower Bridge.

  12. Judith N

    We loved it. The guide was very informative and the tour was amazing. I highly recommend it.

    Anthony was our tour guide for the day- and he did an exceptional job informing me and my husband the ins and outs of the tower and the bridge. Anthony stated was retired and this was what he did to get out of the house a few days a week. Not a bad choice indeed.
    The tour was 4 hours long and all of it was on your feet…and up windy staircases and on unleveled pavement and cobblestone…so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and always be prepared for rain. The weather changes so quickly in London, just always travel with an umbrella or rain jacket. You never know when the weather will change.
    One thing I was hoping because we were with a private guide…was that we could avoid waiting in the long lines. Nope. We had to stand in line with everyone else. The only benefit with the private guide was that you got extra information about some of the exhibits. Our guide did a nice job…but I don’t think it would be any different than if you did it on your own.

    Tour guide was late, then had to wait in line to get tickets!! Spent 30 minutes outside the Tower of London talking about the walls while This was a terrible tour, waste of money. She was 10 minutes late, and then she still had to wait in line to get tickets. We stood outside the Tower of London as she told us about the walls while thousand of others went in ahead of us. We entered just after 11 tour was to start at 10 am. Line was very long to the crown jewels so she suggested that we skip it. Later the line was longer, so we never sat the jewels!
    Rest of tour was poor to average. She had very low energy. She wasn’t able to make the tour interesting. I have been to the Tower before and the audio tour was much better.
    She ended the tour at 1PM, 30 minutes early. She didn’t take us to the Tower bridge.

    Our guide Anthony was on time and knew so much. He was able to answer all our questions. I would’ve rated this 5 stars but for the fact it was almost double the cost of our Barcelona private tour 1 week prior.

  16. Francisco_D

    Very knowledgeable guide. No need to spend the time to go with the guide to the Tower Bridge, The bridge is literally right there In front of the tower better spending time exploring the power in the history behind

  17. Elizabeth_B

    Paul our guide was excellent, but due to recent restrictions placed on Viator he was not able to join us inside either of the buildings for our Tower of London tour. This was very disappointing and we should have been notified ahead of time and the price of our tour should have been adjusted accordingly.

    The lady who was taking us to these wonderful locations in the Tower of London.Marguerite.She understood everything and described everything in the utter most detail.My family had a wonderful time.Will definitely come back.

  19. lisa_l

    Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. She made great use of our time while standing in line, giving us lots of history and information.

  20. Kyle_P

    Janina was amazing! She was so kind, knowledgeable, and spoke over 6 languages! The company that sent her went above and beyond for an amazing experience for my husband and I. I would 1000 percent recommend Janina and her company for any and all travelers. We want to bring our children back to London so they can learn from her brilliance as well!
