London · TOWER OF LONDON TICKETS AND TOURS

“The tour guide, Maria, made history come alive with her numerous anecdotes, which I still think about or chuckle over, two weeks later. I have been to the Tower of London twice before, without a guide. It was a totally different experience with a tour guide.
