Haha, good lord. Gotta love that last little smirk, now there's a man that loves his job.

So I thought this was the same guide I had, but sadly it wasn't. The tour I went on the guide was just as awesomely sarcastic and the whole heavy gate thing...yeah he got everyone to run by saying something about how many tons it was...how it could crush us...:)

Awesome!

I love really good funny Tour Guides. When I get a tour guide like that I always remember them and often their presence is the most happy and fun experience of a historical tour in a foreign land.

But wait! This is only part II of IV! Check out the others here.

I love watching someone who so obviously enjoys their job

Indeed, watch all four parts! They are all great!

"And the defenders will now be hurling vicious verbal abuse at you. Not to mention stones, arrows, buckets of boiling tar, cows, sheep, salad, unwanted children -- everything would have been thrown at you."

That could have come straight from Monty Python. *promote

All the guides that I've followed at the Tower of London over the years have been very entertaining, and each have their own little touches.

If people haven't been before, there are tour guides going round constantly, some in costume, others in uniforms. You're free to join and leave any group as you choose. Well worth a visit if you're in London.
