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.

5.00Galina was an excellent tour guide. She texted the day before to tell us where to meet her. As a Blue Badge holder, she was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us interested throughout the tour. She guided us around the Tower of London to minimize queues and prepped us beforehand as to what we were going to see when we went to an area in which she was not allowed to talk to us. Her explanations of The Crown Jewels, along with the pictures she had, really prepared us for what we were going to see and the history behind them. It really improved the entire experience. At the end of the tour, she walked us the entire way to the tube station to ensure we got on the correct train. Definitely recommend this tour.

5.00Lucy did a fantastic job navigating us around and getting us in places without long waits. We got the entire history of the tower and Lucy kept it fun and engaging for us, including my 12 and 15 year olds. Highly recommend!

4.00Outstanding tour guide (Ben) that was wonderfully personable and knowledgeable. He rates 6-stars all day long. What doesn't is the fact that the company oversells how quiet and crowd-free it will be. We were early, and it wasn't. Their relentless marketing and pressure for an immediate review is also off-putting. It'd be nice to actually get home before getting pummeled by email and text.
Lucy is the Perfect Guide
