An exclusive tour without the crowds

Begin your journey into the annals of British history with an exclusive early morning tour of the Tower of London, evading the crowd of the day, with skip-the-line tickets. Accompanied by an expert English-speaking guide, explore every nook and cranny of the tower, like the Medieval Palace and the Mint Exhibition. This tour grants you exclusive access to a Yeoman Warder, colloquially known as a Beefeater, known to be the Royal Guards of the tower since Tudor times. Dive deep into the tales of this fortress, which once played host to a dark blend of royal refuge, prison, and execution site. Don't forget to marvel at the most guarded treasure of the tower, the Crown Jewels, an awe-inspiring assembly of regal artifacts spanning 600 years.

A historic past that's both dark and thrilling

The Tower has much to offer, so take your time exploring every corner. Visit the Bloody Tower where 12-year-old Edward V and his younger brother, Richard were murdered, giving it its gruesome name. The stunning architectural beauty of St. John's Chapel, located inside the White Tower will amaze you. Stop to smell the beautiful wildflowers located all around the Tower Moat. Don't forget to check out the exhibitions, like the Torture at the Tower exhibition where you'll get to see the spine-chilling ways in which prisoners were tortured.
