I didn't realize this would include VIP access to the Tower of London - we were front and center in a small group of people watching the opening of the Tower. Ben was very entertaining and informative. We highly recommend this tour!

We toured the Tower of London with two of our young teenage children and the experience could not have been better. Ben was such a great host! He was truly knowledgeable, engaging, and warm. We have used Walks several times in Rome, NYC, Paris, and now London. We have always had excellent guides and a great experience!

We took the early entry Tower of London and crown jewels tour. I would highly recommend the first entry! It saved us hours of waiting in line. Our tour guide, Vivian, was lovely. She was so knowledgeable, enthusiatic, and clearly a true, proud Brit.
