Tower of London
Your tour will begin just in front of the main entrance, where you will be given a short introduction to the history of the Tower of London before being led in to meet the Beefeater dedicated to your small group. From stories of traitorous plots to tales of royal scandal, the guards of the Tower of London will bring this attraction to life before your eyes. Your small group will also enable you plenty of chances to ask questions and interact directly with the Beefeater as they lead you through this ancient fortress.
The Crown Jewels
After your tour, continue to discover the Tower at your leisure including a visit to the infamous Bloody Tower, a tour of the old Royal Mint, or a visit to the home of the stunning Crown Jewels. Because of our early morning start time, you will be among the first visitors into the Tower and will have the opportunity to explore without the usual large crowds. At times an important stronghold, a magnificent palace, and an intimidating prison; the Tower of London is a must-see attraction for those interested in British history. Don’t miss out on the opportunity for a guided tour with those most familiar with it – the Beefeaters.

Go first thing in the morning before the crowds arrive! Our yeoman guide, Tom, was knowledgeable and witty. Take time after your guide is finished to explore all the nooks and crannies of the Tower.

The meeting point was not clear, the place is huge and the guide was neither to contact us nor answer. In GuruWalk we took one free and the guide contacted us by whatsapp. Eventually we could NOT make the tour and ended up buying tickets again and the audio guide which is very interesting. My daughter didn't miss the tour
