What To Expect
Tower of London
Keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in 1079, the Tower of London has had many faces: as a mint, an observatory, a zoo, an armoury, a royal palace, a treasury and most notoriously, as a place of execution. Home to both the Beefeaters and the Crown Jewels today, the Tower’s story is one of intrigue, scandal and ceremony, definitely best uncovered with a private guide and a morning entrance before the crowds arrive. Upon meeting your private guide, you will first discover the iconic sites on the outer walls such as Traitor’s Gate and Tower Hill before entering the complex to view Britain’s most treasured royal artefacts, walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn, see the armour of Henry VIII, visit William the Conqueror’s White Tower, meet the ravens and learn everything you could ever need to know about this most historic of London’s palaces.
The Crown Jewels
Home to both the Beefeaters and the Crown Jewels today, the Tower’s story is one of intrigue, scandal, and ceremony, definitely best uncovered with a private guide and a morning entrance before the crowds arrive.

5.00An absolutely brilliant private tour led by Andrew, an experienced Blue Badge Guide. History, anecdotes, details, and facts as we roamed throughout the Tower complex at a comfortable pace. Two Seniors, two adults, and two teens in our group and we all enjoyed Andrew’s descriptions.

5.00Book it (8am)! Nathan is the best-so informative. Not only were we the first to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, but had a perfect spot later at the Horseguard’s parade without wait. Perfect morning!
Trudy is the best

5.00Sean is excellent. He knows his history and lays it out very clearly about the Tower and everything that happened there. It was unfortunate that he was unable to accompany us inside the Crown jewels exhibit and the Tower itself because of the summer school break, but that was not his fault and he was very good at explaining to us what we would be seeing when we went in. I would highly recommend Sean for other tours and he is very knowledgeable about the history of the UK and especially London. He’s also a very nice man. One thing that was not on our tour, but I would recommend it is the torture chamber exhibit.

5.00My family loved this tour and mostly because of our amazing tour guide!! Danny (Danielle) had us laughing from the start. She was engaging, impressive with her extensive history knowledge, and made the tour so much fun for each of us, she’s a great storyteller. We highly recommend this tour with Danny and will certainly book with her again. This was the best tour of our week in London, thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience!!
