We absolutely recommend this Tower of London tour with Walks. Our Blue Badge guide, Oliver, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the Towers rich history to life with insight, humour, and detail. With a small group of no more than 15, we had plenty of opportunities to ask questions, take photos, and explore the highlights without feeling rushed. A perfect way to experience this iconic and still-working historic site informative, personal, and thoroughly enjoyable.
