John was fun, informative and pleasant. The tour exceeded our expectations. We arrived early for opening ceremonies. I highly recommend that as you also beat the crowds. We were given time to go off our of our own in each area and explore. I have to add that if you need a bite to eat, the café has delicious cuisine.

The initial skepticism about the high price was immediately put into perspective after the start. We were able to experience the opening ceremony up close (as a private group, so to speak) and were among the first visitors for the crown jewels, which was really very pleasant because you weren't "pushed through" with hundreds of others. Our guide John was simply great, imparted extensive knowledge with a lot of humor and anecdotes. The Tower Bridge was not guided, but the information boards make it self-explanatory and also pleasant if you already have tickets and don't have to wait in line for too long. All in all, a great tour and definitely a must-do for history buffs.

Great tour. Our tour guide John was fantastic. Incredible knowledge base specific to the Tour of London but additionally lots of fun facts and history regarding the area in general. Answered all questions and kept the tour moving. The changing of the keys ceremony was well worth the early arrival. Appreciated that we were one of the first groups to enter the Crown Jewels display with no line to wait in. Plenty of time to explore on our own and the area is easily accessible by the underground. Highly recommend.
