What To Expect

1

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.

1 hour • Admission Included

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.

    Lucy 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!

    Outstanding 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.

    Our guide Lucy was fantastic. She kept our family engaged with great stories and was a pleasure to spend time with. The Tower itself is fascinating but it was the guide that made it an exceptional experience
