our guide was very knowledgeable and had so many interesting things to say about the Tower and the history. The Yeoman Warder we had was amazing, funny, and very interesting. I loved this tour.

Lovely and informative tour that kept my kids entertained. It was really nice to be there early before the crowds, skip the lines and be in a small group tour with our beefeater. We learned a lot! Highly recommend!

The early tour is worth the effort to make it there! Early morning before the crowds, seemed a more authentic time to experience the tower and reflect on the history within its walls before the crowds take over and fill it with present day culture which detracted from imagining what life was like between its walls previously. Our guide was friendly and informative and shared lots of fun info as she escorted us effortlessly into the Tower. We met almost instantly with our Yeomen Warder - and she was excellent! A true fountain of knowledge, experience, pleasure and professionalism, we could not have asked for a better representative. I would have loved to spend more time with her sharing her insights, thanking her for her service and learning about her varied past. Thank you for engaging with us!
