So great and informative! Our guide was very considerate of the young girls on the tour and left out gory details. LOVE the Ravens!
Amazing day at the Tower of London! Our guide Frank was full of knowledge and told many stories to bring the historical events to life! Our Beefeater meet and greet was fantastic. The jewels -stunning! Time to explore on our own was also key to a great day at the Tower.
Be prepared to walk but lots of fun. Great guide who was very knowledgeable. Easy meet up place. Lots of history
This was a great tour. The guide Amber was amazing and funny. She gave us lots of information then sent us off to different parts to explore, giving us tips on what to look for as we went. Beefeater meet and great was amazing. Only warning is there are LOTS and LOTS of stairs, some very narrow.
This must be one of the best ways to see the Tower! Tour guide Ben brought it to life fabulously! Amazing knowledge/info. Meeting Yeoman warden Barry was yet another high point; his pride in his current duties/role and his 40 years serving king & Country making me proud to be British! Our small group of 10 was a perfect size and the early start really helped access. Can’t recommend enough.
Took guided tour and meet and greet with beefeater. Ben was a good story / history teller and Barry the Beefeater was also very interesting. Loved seeing the friendly ravens and the Crown Jewels. Did skip the white tower as heard of the 200 steps up and down stairs. We had seen the tower before and still remember it.
Thank you Nancy, Ben's gift for bringing the Tower's stories to life, paired with Barry's insider perspective as a Beefeater, is exactly what makes the VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour such a memorable experience. The ravens are always a highlight, and the Crown Jewels never disappoint. Smart call on the White Tower stairs—sounds like you made the most of your time at this iconic London landmark. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours!
Ben was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. Meeting place was clear and the tour was amazing.
Ben's combination of deep knowledge and genuine kindness is exactly what makes the VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet such a standout experience. Clear logistics, engaging storytelling, and that personal touch throughout—that's the LetzGo City Tours standard. Thank you for choosing us!
The meet and greet with the beefeater was definitely a highlight. He provided a lot of insider information that wouldn't normally receive on other tours. The crown jewels are a must see. Our tour guide Ben was informative and humorous. He is one of the best guides we have encountered over many years of travel.
Ben brought exactly the right balance of knowledge and humour to your VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour—that combination of depth and personality is what makes a guide truly memorable. The private Beefeater meet and greet is built into this tour specifically to offer those insider stories and access you won't find elsewhere, and we're thrilled it landed as a highlight. After many years of travel, that's high praise, and we're grateful you chose LetzGo City Tours for this experience. Thank you!
Ben was pleasant but the tour was long on puns and short on substance. The history he told us was perfunctory. We didn’t learn much about the Towers occupants, basically a few names of people who were killed there. We learned more from the free Beefeater presentation that we watched after our tour. Save your money, you will get more from the regular admission.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found our guide pleasant, but we respectfully disagree that the storytelling lacked substance — our guides are chosen specifically for their depth of knowledge and ability to bring the Tower's history to life beyond the standard facts. Guests on this very tour consistently rate it 5 stars, often highlighting exactly this blend of engaging storytelling and historical detail. We're confident most visitors come away with a richer perspective than a general admission visit alone would offer. Best wishes for your future travels. The LetzGo City Tours Team.
A must see in London! Mark was our guide and he was so funny and informative. We had our private meeting with the Beefeater and he was so knowledgeable and explained their history very well. There is so much to see inside and I highly recommend this guided tour. I feel like you would miss so much without them.
Thank you Tammy, Janet's patience, kindness, and genuine passion for sharing London's stories is the kind of care that transforms a tour into a true experience. You can feel when a guide loves what they do, and that's what LetzGo City Tours aims for every single day. Thank you for the lovely feedback!
