What To Expect
Tower of London
The tour starts at your allocated time, your guide will be waiting for you at the Tower Welcome Centre, just outside the main entrance. We have to pass through a few gates with murder holes to get safely inside. Your guide will introduce you to Merlina, Jubilee, Grip and other ravens. Some might be resting in their cages, some freely hopping around. They might even pose for a picture, but don’t get too close, they can bite! Who was imprisoned in the Bloody tower? Let’s find out, right after we escape the torture chamber, where you can still see some of the brutal medieval instruments.
Jewel House
It’s time now to be impressed by the jewels, the crown, the sceptre, the orb and much more. The entire collection, which is guarded behind thick doors, has an unimaginable value.

Fantastic Tour of London by a super guide!

5.00This tour of the Tower of London was fantastic! Our guide Marina was very pleasant, fun and extremely knowledgeable. We were thinking that a 3 hour tour may be too long, but instead time flew by and we had a great experience. In fact, we kept Marina a little longer asking more questions. We highly recommend this tour!

5.00Our guide Mariana has a wonderful knowledge of the Tower and expertly and pleasantly guided us through the tower using amusing and eye catching visuals that provided the historical background for our experience.

5.00Marina was an excellent tour guide. She kept my four children engaged while still sharing plenty of fascinating history for the adults. We wouldn’t have enjoyed the Tower of London nearly as much without her. She truly made our day wonderful. Thank you, Marina!

5.00We had a great day at the Tower of London with our guide Ben. He was wonderful, and knowledgeable. We were able to see everything without long waits because he knew which areas to visit first to avoid the crowds. We had a group of 8, and we all enjoyed this tour very much. It was a highlight of our trip!
Excellent private Tour of the Tower of London.
