Guide was a bit disappointing but the Tower is Amazing. - 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.

A lot of sitting around, very little touring - Don’t waste your money. Your best bet is to arrive when the Tower opens and use the audio tour that comes with your ticket.

Get rid of Maria Perri, rude & prefers to be a history teacher! - Our tour guide Maria Perri was beyond rude and wanted to give a history lesson instead of showing us around. At one point I raised my hand right befor changing of guards to ask if we can go to watch and she said “stop talking and listen to me. The guy next to E said wow that was rude. She claimed the walk slow and we won’t miss it, they walk briskly and we did miss it. Honestly, this woman needs to go teach history not work w adults. She didn’t show us 1 single significant place one this tour. I actually started listening big and Veeringtowards a tour guide that was actually giving a tour. This being said, I want to say, Chloe, who helped us meet up with group as we were 5 minutes late due to protesting was amazing and extremely helpful! We did tip Maria only because as an NY’er I believe it’s the right tbing
