Itinerary
Your tour begins outside the Tower of London
You’ll meet your guide outside the Tower of London. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher. Here, you’ll get a quick orientation before heading inside this legendary fortress.
Enter the Tower of London with pre-reserved tickets
Step through the ancient gates and into nearly 1,000 years of history. You’ll meander along the fortress walkways as your guide shares stories of kings, queens, prisoners, and power struggles that shaped England.
Pause in front of Traitor's Gate
Learn about the infamous water entrance that once delivered prisoners straight into royal custody. Your guide recounts chilling tales of those, like Anne Boleyn, who entered with hope and left only as legends.
Ponder the dark history of the Bloody Tower
Next, uncover the dark and mysterious history of the infamous Bloody Tower. Your guide will share chilling accounts, including the unexplained demise of two young princes and the imprisonment of Sir Walter Raleigh, who used his time here to plan his global expeditions.
Learn about Tower Green
After that, you’ll witness the somber place where some of England’s royalty met their tragic ends, right on Tower Green. Your guide will offer insights into the dangerous political climate of Tudor England, explaining why figures like Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were executed here.
Your tour ends at the Crown Jewels
Your guided portion wraps up at the entrance to the Jewel House, where you’ll continue inside independently. Marvel at the coronation regalia, glittering crowns, and ceremonial treasures that still play a role in British royal tradition today.
Enjoy a Thames River Cruise with your flexible ticket
Cap off your experience with a relaxing 30-minute cruise along the Thames whenever it suits your schedule. Drift past London’s iconic bridges and skyline for a perfect finale to your historic adventure. Your ticket is typically valid for one month (often longer), with the exact expiry date noted on the ticket you’ll receive during your tour.
