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.

Lucy was awesome!

5.00This is the only way to see the Tower of London!! Lucy really brought the history alive, taking our group through centuries of British monarchs. It was fascinating to hear about intrigue and murder in the very rooms in which it all happened. We have young people in our family, ranging in age from 10 to 17 years, and they were spellbound. I would imagine that visiting the tower of London in a large group or without a guide would be a pretty dry experience. This was so entertaining and educational at the same time. Well worth it!

5.00Tour guide was wonderful. She helped a mobility impaired person in our group get the most out of the visit. Could not see where Ann Boleyn was buried due to renovations which was disappointing but saw the ravens, beefeaters, execution site, Traitor's Gate, and more. Tower was much more than expected and had a great time.
Great tour with an incredible guide!
