Hi, I had a question about your visit to the Tower of London. You mentioned going on a beefeater tour. Did you Pay for that in addition to your ticket price or is it just something you get in line for once you are inside?

When we were there last the children in front of us in the queue had come in on blue Peter badges. I think they had to be with a paying adult as the only stipulation.
