Loved all the stories and our guide was great! I believe his name was Adrian. He was very knowledgeable and had answers to all of our questions.

Great tour including boat trip, our guide was very helpful & knowledgable, got a lot more out of it than if we'd done Tower of London without a guide, very glad we did this.

Guide only took us to some of the buildings and spent to much time standing in one or two places and not showing us everything in the Tower of London. We stood in one place for quite a bit of time so we could view the Tower Bridge opening, which it never did. Not what I went to the Tower of London to do.
