Are you the kind of traveller who only books the most exclusive tours? Then we have you covered. No one tells the stories of the Tower of London better than a Beefeater, so your group will get a private meeting with one inside a room in the Bloody Tower that most people miss!

Afterward, your expert guide will give you an in-depth tour to discover more about Tower Green, the Bloody Tower, Traitor’s Gate, and many more points of interest inside the Tower of London. And of course, our guide will make sure you'll have the chance to visit the crown jewels too, before continuing to the white tower which you'll be free to explore at your own pace.

Outstanding Tower and Crown Jewels Tour!

This was a wonderfully interesting, informative, entertaining and well-managed guided tour of the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels that also interacted with a Beefeater. Andreas was exceptional in his incredible knowledge of British royal history related to this tour and Tower - and there certainly have been many kings and queens with unique connections to the Tower and the Crown Jewels. Andreas not only made this a special tour but also sparked a continued interest in royal research going forward. Well done!

Our guided tour of the Tower of London was absolutely fantastic! Ben, our tour guide, made the entire experience unforgettable. He was engaging, funny, and full of fascinating facts that brought the Tower’s long, dramatic history to life. The Beefeater we met on-site was great as well, and Ben prepared us with all the background and context before the introduction so we could really appreciate the experience. His storytelling had the perfect balance of humor, suspense, and historical insight, keeping our whole group entertained from start to finish. Seeing the Crown Jewels was breathtaking, and Ben’s explanations made the exhibit even more impressive. He guided us smoothly through the grounds, highlighting key spots, answering every question, and making sure everyone in the group felt included. The entire tour was well-organized, informative, and easily one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re visiting the Tower of London, I highly recommend booking a guided tour — and if you get Ben, you’re in excellent hands!

A rip off! The worst tour experience I’ve ever had. We got nothing like what was promised in the description. The tour ‘guide’ met us at the gate 30 minutes before opening, told us a few things about the tower from the outside but didn’t really know the history that well. We were then herded in at the same time as all the other guests where we were handed over to a beefeater who was great but he repeated the same stories that the guide on the outside told us! 20 mins later we were finished with the beefeater and left to our own devices! I can only imagine something went wrong as have had good experiences with the tour guy in the past.
Fun and interesting.

Warren was funny and informative!! We would highly recommended him for any tour! Just long enough to see the highlights, take photos, and ask questions without feeling too long.
