I learned so much from listening to Brad the tour guide. The tour has way too much to take in without assistance so really glad I had someone to 3xplain everything!

I enjoyed the London Tower tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. She also added some humor to the tour. Very enjoyable. One complaint I had is that the tour was labeled tagged as 1 hour 15 minutes. When I arrived our guides stated it was 2 hours. That was a problem because I had to be somewhere else before this tour actually ended therefore I missed the beefeater meet and greet. This needs to be corrected on your website.

A very knowledgeable guide who certainly knew his history of the Tower and anecdotes and interesting tales. My husband and I made slow progress but he was very considerate of our lack of mobility and only went as fast as we could manage.

A complete tour of the Tower with an expert and friendly guide who showed us all the different rooms. Finally, we met a Beefeater and took a souvenir photo with him. Among the most gruesome parts, we saw the window where Henry V was killed and where the princes’ bones were found in the Tower, as well as the site where executions took place. The room displaying the suits of armor belonging to various kings—including the one that belonged to Henry VIII—was particularly interesting.

Wonderful tour experience. We received great information from our guide before being turned over to our Beefeater. He was fantastic! I definitely recommend this early access tour since there were far fewer people than later in the day.

Day out for the grandchildren. Very expensive to say the least. Good guide with a sense of humour. Nice to meet others from far afeild. We travelled by train and were told we could get a discount if we showed our train tickets. No chance. We were offered a 10.00 start with no alternatives meaning a very early start and a long journey. How about a flexible alternative.

Enjoy an exclusive meet & greet with a Yeoman Warder (Beefeater), and get insider stories, historic insights, and a rare opportunity to chat and snap a photo with them.

Get up close to the world’s most famous symbols of monarchy: the Crown Jewels, from the Imperial State Crown to the Sovereign’s Sceptre.

Discover infamous spots like the Bloody Tower, Traitor’s Gate, Tower Green, and the execution site of Anne Boleyn. Every cobblestone has a tale to tell.

After your guided introduction and Beefeater meet and greet, explore the Tower grounds on your own at your own pace.

Choose the afternoon tour to explore during the Tower's lively hours, or the early-morning tour to see the Crown Jewels before the crowds.

Step inside 1,000 years of royal history with a Tower of London tour led by an expert guide, including a Beefeater meet and greet, and access to Britain’s Crown Jewels.

Getting started

Your journey begins with a short guided introduction by a local English-speaking guide before you meet a Yeoman Warder (Beefeater). These guardians of the Tower are not only ceremonial figures but also active-duty members of the military with years of service. Learn about their prestigious role, centuries-old traditions, and daily lives within the Tower walls, making for an enlightening and engaging start to your tour.

What to expect

Tower of London

Choose the early-morning tour to gain access to the Tower before the crowds and early access to the Jewel House, getting an up-close look at the Crown Jewels before doors open to the public. Or choose the afternoon tour and meet your guide and a Beefeater for an engaging introduction to the Tower’s rich history and daily rituals.

Features:

Meet & Greet with a Beefeater: Discover the personal stories and rich traditions of these legendary Tower guardians.

Crown Jewels: Marvel at the coronation regalia and over 140 objects linked to centuries of royal ceremony.

Self-guided exploration: After the guided segment, explore famous landmarks like the Bloody Tower, Traitor’s Gate, and Tower Green at your leisure.
