We took the private early access tour of tower of London and tower bridge. Our guide was very knowledgeable, kept the tour moving. It was great to skip the queue and get into exhibits before the general public. Well worth the extra money.
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide was a lot of fun! We were amazed at all he shared and how well informed he was. The timing was well organized and thought out and we never felt rushed. We would highly recommend this tour!
The tour is all encompassing. The entire Tower of London is discussed with each segments history. Warren was a FABULOUS TOUR GUIDE, informing us about the history with humor and stories. Warren also advised us when touring, what not to spend alot of time viewing in order to give us time to maximize our experience. If there is only one tour to book THIS is the tour to book.
Don't be fooled by the easy access with an early start title. The 1st hour of our tour was outside the tower and we then got into the same line as all other ticket holders. Since our guide wasn't allowed to go into the inside towers with us, she spent extended (too much) time talking about some of the other things inside the walls. We would have had a better and much less expensive experience buying our own tickets and using the audio guide.
Thank you for your feedback. As outlined in the tour description, guides provide rich historical context and storytelling around the grounds, while entry into the towers themselves is completed independently, as access there is managed directly by the site rather than by LetzGo. Any queuing procedures once inside the walls are set by the venue and outside our control. Guests on this very tour consistently rate it 5 stars, praising the depth of storytelling and knowledge our guides bring to the experience. Best wishes for your future travels. The LetzGo City Tours Team.
The tour was fantastic. Ben shared a ton of information, cheeky jokes, and answered lots of our questions, fantastic pace and helped us stay in the shade on a warm day. It was delightful!
That combination of depth, humour, and real attentiveness to your comfort—keeping everyone in the shade on a warm day while never losing the momentum—is the LetzGo City Tours standard Ben delivered. We're so glad the tour felt delightful from start to finish. The LetzGo City Tours Team
Easy walking tour. Ben is the “Norm” of the tower and everyone knows his name! Very knowledgeable and funny too. I would recommend you take this tour when in London.
Thank you Ucherr, Ben's reputation speaks for itself, and your review captures exactly why: that rare blend of deep local knowledge and genuine warmth that makes a London tour feel like walking with a friend rather than following a script. Thank you for recommending LetzGo City Tours.
Our guide John was great. Knowledgeable, informative and very pleasant. While with John our tour was very nice. However, once inside the tower we were disappointed with the cost incurred for what we saw, experienced.
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted John's knowledge and warmth made such a positive impression on your tour. Regarding the tower, we'd like to clarify that entry tickets to sites visited along the route are separate from the guided walking tour itself, as noted in the tour description, since admission pricing and offerings are set independently by each venue. Guests on this very tour consistently rate it 5 stars, often highlighting exactly the kind of engaging, informative guiding you experienced with John. We hope this context is helpful for future travelers, and wish you all the best on your next adventure. The LetzGo City Tours Team.
John was our guide and he made our tour extremely interesting. He is very knowledgeable in all topics related to these buildings and the people involved. Would highly recommend you take this tour and ask for John!
John certainly knows how to bring the Tower's history to life! We're delighted to hear his knowledge made the stories of the Tower of London so engaging and memorable. That's exactly the kind of experience we aim to deliver on our Easy Access Tower of London, Crown Jewels, Torture and Executions tour. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you on another LetzGo City Tours adventure soon. The LetzGo City Tours team
It was a very interesting and informative tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very kind. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and seeing the changing of guards and Beefeaters around the castle grounds. We would highly recommend this tour!
