love the smaller group size and the commentary was informative and entertaining. The tour was a good length and we were able to spend plenty of time at the tower afterwards. Great tour with a wonderful guide

Excellent guide, our Beefeater was hilarious and very engaging as well, and very generous with his time answering additional questions after he'd finished speaking. I wish we'd gotten more of the gory details though! We only saw and read about the torture devices after we went exploring on our own post-tour.

The tour was very good. We enjoyed the presentation by the Beefeater; that was very informative. The Crown Jewels were amazing. It was worth the extra price to have a VIP entrance.
