Amber was fantastic, while my Daughter (15yrs) is very into English History. She said she even found out a few new things. Amber was very informative with a wealth of knowledge & answered any questions people had. The earphones/headsets made it easy to listen to Amber.

It was enjoyable and informative. Guide was excellent. I learnt new facts even though I had read about the tower. We got to beat the crowds too.

We enjoyed our tour of the Tower of London for the most part. However, it was a bit disappointing that the guide didn’t bring us in any of the attractions. She told us outside what was in each building and told us to circle back after the tour was over. Likewise, the guide’s history sort of jumped all over from century to century so it was a bit tough to follow storytelling. We still enjoyed our tour and it was great to have access to the Crown Jewels before everyone else, so that was fun. So was the ceremony where they unlock the gates. But it’s a bit pricey for what it was.
