The guide that greeted us was so warm and inviting! We loved chatting with her! Her sense of humor and wit were incredibly on point, not to mention her knowledge and love of the attraction itself. The Beefeater that greeted us was just witty and fun - full of great information and gallows humor! Getting there early for the 8:30 tour proved beneficial as well. Once our time was finished with the guide, we headed straight to the Crown Jewels. There was no line at all when we entered. Just an hour later and it was packed!

We did the early access( 8:30 am on 3/1) to the Crown Jewels with a Beefeater. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the area /the reason for the ravens/ exploring the different areas ,and it was nice skipping the lines, too! I would highly recommend this tour / tour company!

It was fantastic! Our outside guide Louise was lovely and interesting and very funny. Our beefeater inside was very interesting and also very funny! We learned a lot from them both, and were very pleased to have taken the private tour.

When we arrived , originally they couldn't find my booking and said Headout regularly overbook and that I could just have a refund if they couldn't resolve it which wasn't the point when I had booked it well in advance. Luckily the staff were able to find the booking eventually. The Barney the beefeater was brilliant !! and so funny !! Couldn't sing his praises enough however would have like it to have lasted more than 45 mins. The jewels were lovely to visit. And the grounds were beautifully kept!

Our tour had only 4 tourist and as such, small as it was, the key master "forgive the name" gave us and our guide a very special tour. We were give audience to the offices of the key master and his officers. And a very private and informed tour of the chapel. He was very nice and informed

The ticketing experience was excellent and I appreciate the convenience and ease of it all. My only slight complaint is that I think the tour is misnamed. I went into it thinking that we would have a Beefeater as our tour guide throughout when in fact he was with us for the first 5-10 minutes only during the key opening ceremony. (He was fantastic and we loved that part of the experience). But then he was gone and we had a regular tour guide (who was lovely and knowledgeable but not a Beefeater)

Very easy to find our guide - who was amazing. Interesting, informative and kept our interest. The Beefeater was also very informative and happy to pose with photo of us after. As it was early in day , no real queue or overcrowding in the Crown Jewels display area. Highly recommend doing this experience.

Early entry to Tower before crowd. Guide Natalie gave a great introduction with good humor. Y Oman Warder was also very entertaining and informative-- stayed until all questions were answered.

I appreciate some of the Beefeaters energy but for the most part the whole experience felt rushed and as though we were an inconvenience. I've done the Beefeater tour before and it did not feel this way last time. He also skipped stories that were told last time. The story of Monmouth and the reattachment of his head for the painting. The fact that Isaac Newton stayed at the tower. Also stories about the ravens. It was a bummer all around because I had talked about this experience as a major highlight to my husband who was experiencing it for the first time. If the experience is going to be shorter, let us know and charge us less.

8.30 meetings with guide 30 minutes talking about builds you can see in London nothing to do with tower ! Was expecting more time with beefeater we had 20 mins maiyaboutbthe ravens and Roman wall! Although he did question what the guide had said as not double up so not a great deal of communication lastly our group suddenly double with another party which took away the communication we were having with the beefeater very disappointing was expecting more time and more history
