Excellent

Maggie_H, June 2023

Lucy was an excellent tour guide. She was extremely patient as we had my 75 yr old mother-in-law with his. But she made history come to life! 💕💕

Response from Host, June 2023

We're delighted to hear that Lucy could bring the history of the Tower to life for your whole group. We'd love to welcome you on another experience if you return to London. LetmeshowyouLondon.com

Galina was a wonderful guide! Totally worth the visit. Kids loved the ravens and everyone loved the Crown Jewels!

Response from Host, June 2023

Only way to see Tower of London is a private tour with Claudia

Kerry_T, Mar 2023

We’ve been to the tower several times but never with a tour, much less a private tour. Our tour guide Claudia was amazing and quickly we realized our previous trips were a bit of a waste. Go with a private tour with Claudia to learn all the history and understand the exiting past of the tower. Then if you want to go again on your own you will know it all and can simply enjoy the sights. I highly recommend for anyone visiting the Tower of London. We saw it in a whole new way with Claudia.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you very much for a lovely review. We will pass your kind words on to Claudia. Let me show you London

Marina was great!

Rachel_M, Mar 2023

Marina was so friendly. Her knowledge of the tower and English history was fascinating. She took her time and answered all of our questions.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed your tour at the Tower with Marina. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in London. Let me show you London

Wonderful Family Fun!

Amy_F, Mar 2023

We loved this tour! Our guide, Denisa, was so engaging and spent so much time answering our questions. We had 2 10 year olds and 2 14 year olds with us and she connected with them immediately and really made them enjoy the entire experience. The Crown Jewels were the icing on the cake! Highly recommend for all families!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Many thanks for you kind 5 star review. It’s great to hear your whole family enjoyed the experience and that your interaction with Denisa could bring the Tower to life! Let me show you London

Amazing guide, amazing your.

Wonderful tour by exceptional guide!

Christie_B, Jan 2023

What a fabulous tour with an exceptional guide! Martina was amazing, and we loved her friendly and personal demeanor, wealth of knowledge, and offer to tailor the tour to our interests/needs (though none required because the duration, her flow through the Tower of London and the extent of her information was perfect!). We've done many tours in places around the world, and the tour guide absolutely makes or breaks the experience - Martina was a total win for sure! Definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for your brilliant 5 star review! It's great to hear that the tour was pitched just right for your interests and that you enjoyed the experience. If you ever return to London, we'd be delighted to show you another attraction! Let me show you London
