Itinerary
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.

This tour was selected by my 14 year old grandson. Steph was extremely knowledgeable and made certain to include my grandson throughout the tour. I would highly recommend the tour and Steph!
Excellent Tour Guide
An 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.
Tower of London tour
Book 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
Trudy was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and a great storyteller that kept the whole group (including 3 kids) entertained and interested!
Worth it with tour
The guide was personable, attuned to our knowledge and very focused. We had an excellent time going at our pace and it was fantastic.
