Loved this experience
Mike was a great guide very informative and he got us to see the bridge open twice once from above and once for the outside both were great.
Operator response
What a memorable experience—seeing the bridge open twice, from both vantage points, is the kind of moment that stays with you long after the tour ends. Mike clearly planned the timing and positioning with real care, turning what could have been a standard stop into something genuinely special. That combination of local knowledge and thoughtful logistics is what LetzGo City Tours is built around. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope you'll explore another city with us soon.

The tour guide managed to...
The tour guide managed to get us into the upper level of the bridge in time to see it open. The engine room was also interesting. The Thames cruise was enjoyable, and the guide assisted us in getting to the right tube station to get to our next tour.
Operator response
Your guide showed real logistical skill, timing the bridge opening, steering you through the engine room, and even plotting your route to the next tour. Those thoughtful touches, combined with the Thames River Walk, turned what could have been a standard visit into a seamlessly managed London experience. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours, and we hope your next adventure was just as smooth!

A Brilliant Tour in Every Way!
From the first moment, our fabulous guide, Voytek, was absolutely brilliant! It turned out that my friend and I were the only 2 booked on that particular day, so we pretty much had a private tour! Voytek was incredibly knowledgeable, but very funny and looked after us incredibly well. We would very happily book another tour when we visit London again.

What a wonderful way to experience the Tower Bridge and Thames—having Voytek guide just the two of you through the Engine Room and along the river must have felt truly special. His blend of deep knowledge, humour, and genuine care for the group is exactly what LetzGo City Tours is built around. We'd love to welcome you back to London anytime. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours!

Excellent Family Excursion!
This was more than a Tower Bridge and simple Thames River cruise. Phillip provided an outstanding general overview of The Tower of London to Westminster Abbey. Perfect for the first full day in London.
Operator response
Phillip has a real gift for anchoring a London tour in the big picture—taking you from the Tower of London through to Westminster Abbey gives first-time visitors exactly the context they need to understand the city's layered history. The combination of Tower Bridge's engineering with that scenic Thames cruise makes for a full, memorable day, especially when you're just arriving in the city. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours!

Great tour through the Tower Bridge and Westminster.
Our guide Philip did a great job!
The meeting point was easy to find. There were just two of us, and we received a private tour of the Tower Bridge and the engine rooms. After that, we took an Uber Boat to Westminster, where we also did a little tour. Philip explained everything wonderfully, addressed our questions, and was very motivated to show us the most important sights in the area during the 3.5 hours.
A tour that we would definitely recommend!
Operator response
Philip hat genau das getan, wofür LetzGo City Tours steht: historische Details, persönliche Aufmerksamkeit und echte Motivation, seine Gruppe in jede Ecke der Tour zu führen. Die Kombination aus Tower Bridge, Maschinenräumen und der Themse-Perspektive bis Westminster ist vollgepackt, und dass Philip sich Zeit für Ihre Fragen genommen hat, macht den Unterschied aus. Vielen Dank, dass Sie LetzGo City Tours gewählt haben!

Great experience
Really enjoyed our experience Philip did a great job as our guide. After our cruise down the thams he took us to a lot of great places that weren't listed on the itinerary we really appreciated all the extra details he shared with us
Operator response
Philip's willingness to venture beyond the planned route and share those extra details—that's the kind of local expertise and flexibility that transforms a Tower Bridge and Thames cruise experience into something truly memorable. We're thrilled he helped you discover places and stories you wouldn't have found on your own. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours!

Tower Bridge and Engine Room tour
This LetzGo tour with Phillip exceeded our expectations. Our guide was personable and very knowledgeable about London history and landmarks. Phillip addressed every member of our small group to assess our interests and familiarity with what we were seeing and adjusted to suit. We enjoyed seeing the historic inner workings of Tower Bridge and the fantastic views from this iconic structure. The efficient trip downriver by boat was a nice way to get off our feet and to Westminster. All around, an excellent experience! (the sunny day was a bonus)

Fantastic this tour should be booked on the day you arrive
This was a 3 hr tour and was the best tour we have had.
The guide took us to nearly every landmark and knew everything about every building we past he also took us down hidden streets and showed us lovely pubs and restaurants we could eat in, which we didn’t even know were there.
This just wasn’t a Tower Bridge tour this felt like a full London tour.
Our only regret was not getting this tour on the day we arrived we waited till our last day and I feel we have missed out so much.
Get this tour for the day you arrive the guide will show you every landmark and is so knowledgeable x

Fantastic Tower Bridge Tour
Thoroughly loved this tour. My husband was in the construction industry and loves seeing "behind the scenes" on how things were constructed. Our guide was fantastic too.
I loved that there was an elevator to get us to the top of the tower.
Operator response
Julie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the small-group experience, the Tower of London, and those unforgettable Tower highlights.
We’d love to welcome you on more adventures, so be sure to check us out for future city tours across Europe and the USA!
