    James was an amazing guide, and shared a lot history during our visit. We would highly recommend signing up for this tour! We had 6 people in our group, and it was fun interacting with them and James during the tour. It was so nice to have a more personalized tour versus the large groups that come with the typical tickets to the Tower of London.

    Mr. James Hart was thorough and extremely knowledgeable of the Tower of London history. James seems to be an icon among Tower of London tour guides. In addition to the incredible history he shared interesting insights into current operations of the Tower. Very professional tour. Well done Mr. Hart.

  3. Jessica_H

    Great small group tour! I would highly recommend this tour with James. James was very knowledgeable and this was the best way to hear stories about the castle and get answers to any history questions you may have. Three hours flew by.

    I thought that the tower would be disappointing, but it was well worth the time. Moreover, our tour guide James was outstanding. He was is a real scholar and excellent story teller. We had a group of about 8, which was substantially lower than the other tours we observed. The beefeaters at the tower all knew James and were very complementary about him. Overall, this was an excellent experience. My 21 year old daughter also really enjoyed the tour.

    James Hart was fantastic. He MADE our London Tower tour for us…very personable and so well-informed. Liked the small group! It was a wonderful experience!!!

  6. Kenneth_H

    The guide was excellent! His narrative added tremendously to the historical aspect of what we were viewing.

  7. Sharon_C

    Wow! Mr. James Hart brought the Tower to life and was a brilliant storyteller. One of the best tours we have ever been on and highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed and his historical knowledge is incredible.

  8. Ellen_S

    Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the Tower of London and all its history. Told us exactly what to look for during the tour of the Crown Jewels and castle. Would definitely recommend!

  9. Jody_F

    James, our guide, was a walking history book. He knew about the current goings on as well.. such as freeing the ravens from their cages and the recent King’s coronation. Most importantly, he had his tour timed to avoid long lines and other tour crowds which gave us more quality time at Tower Hill. Highly recommend touring in small group with James.

  10. Linda_S

    James Hart is a superior guide. The breadth of his knowledge and his ability to bring history to life, accompanied by interesting stories that place the events in context was extraordinary.

  11. Bethany_T

    There was a little confusion about the meeting point because Viator did not provide the info, only an address. James was very nice and knowledgeable, but I wish we’d have had the chance to talk with the Beefeaters.

  12. ElizabethDawn_C

    James was so knowledgeable and his stories really got me immersed in The Tower of London’s history. Absolutely so glad I booked this tour with James!!

  13. Meredith_L

    Our tour operator, James, was delightful. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind and the tour would not have been as wonderful without him. He was elegantly attired and seemed to know everything and everyone! Next time in London, we will definitely book more tours with James!

  14. juan_c

    Mr. James Hart was an excellent tour guide that gave us an abundance of information pertaining to the history of the Tower of London! He was very engaging and helpful. The weather and setting, just a stone’s throw away from the Tower Bridge just enhanced the experience.

    The Tower of London tour was absolutely fabulous. Mostly due to our guide James Hart. James is extreme knowledgeable and lets you know the smallest of detail. A great pleasure to have him guide us through the Tower. His voice carried very good, there was never an issue with hearing James without a radio box. Thank you again, James.

  16. Diana_S

    James was very knowledgeable and did a great job of letting us know what to look for in the various exhibits. We faced quite a few lines, so we missed going inside the chapel and the traitors gate. I would have enjoyed a few more stories. Also, I was under the wrong impression that it was a private tour. We had 11 people in the group so it was still a nice size.

  17. Deborah_M

    The stories our guide shared were really great. I did find that the information becomes a bit jumbled and lost after 2 hours. Glad we did it though!

  18. Sundaresh_M

    James is a superb guide and his commentary was excellent. He is also extremely knowledgeable. He managed the group well and gave us a wonderful tour

  19. Dana_L

    James was very knowledgeable and thorough. He explained everything so well. He really made the experience memorable!! Highly recommend Tower of London Tour with James!to anyone planning on going there.

  20. Jonathan_R

    James was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable with his dry English wit! You start out outside the tower and then James takes your small tour group through the gates. He even introduced us to one of the Beef Eaters! A must see and you MUST use James! You will not be disappointed! Thank you for a great tour!

  21. CareyH

    James has been conducting tours for 27 years and it surely shows. He is an expert on everything royal concerning the tower and the jewels. He even recited from memory everything we would see in the white tower! He knows it all!

  22. Kerri_B

    James was the perfect guide. So knowledgeable and was a fabulous storyteller. We would’ve missed so much had he not guided us through the tower. I highly recommend.

  23. Jennifer_V

    James is a truly exceptional tour guide and we had a wonderful experience! He shared detailed information in an engaging way and gave us context for the things that we saw. We all learned a great deal and we are thrilled to have experienced the Tower of London this way. Highly recommend!

  24. john_l

    Taking this tour with James was a real treat – his knowledge is impressive and his ability to navigate through the Tower of London was fantastic. His stories were enjoyable and would be missed if you tried to do this vast place on your own.

  25. Sean_M

    James, our Blue Badge guide, was quite informative, friendly as well as helpful. His insightful stories brought the past to life.

  26. Gerald_T

    Great tour! Plenty of history at the Tower of London. Interesting stories of those who lost their heads there. Multiple displays of old English arms, cannons, changing of the guard and crown jewels all in one place. Our tour guard James was great.

  27. Rebecca_A

    This small group tour is a must. James is an absolutely fabulous tour guide offering so much information and so many stories that bring this history to life.

  28. Stanford_B

    James was an outstanding tour guide–he led us past several queues and provided excellent insights into the Tower’s history. This small group tour (only 5) was so much better than the Beefeaters’ groups that appeared to consist of 30-40 prople, with that guide shouting to be heard by the very large group.

  29. Sam_H

    Our guide was amazing. His ability to provide so much detailed information about what we were seeing and all without notes was truly impressive.

  30. LESLIE_T

    James is an excellent guide. Gave us great information about the Tower and the surrounding area, pointed out many, many points of historical interest, helped us with the timing of seeing the Crown Jewels (we had no line!), and answered every question we had. It was a jam-packed 3 hour tour and we loved it! It was easy to find him to meet for the tour and he was great to communicate with to make sure we were in the right spot.
