Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Tower shop
Meet your guide across from the main entrance at the Tower shop. You will start with the story of William the Conqueror and the fortress's 11th-century origins. This site once served as the city's primary political and military heart.
Explore the Tower of London
Use pre-reserved tickets with your private guide to enter the medieval walls of this UNESCO World Heritage site. You will see the heavy portcullis, a massive iron-and-wood sliding gate used for defense, which guarded the fortress from invaders. It’s a chilling look at medieval justice.
Visit the royal bedrooms
Step inside the 16th-century quarters of King James I to see re-created royal life.Observe the ornate furniture and tapestries that reflect the era's luxury. This area shows the domestic side of the defensive palace.
View the Crown Jewels
Listen as your guide shares the history of the royal regalia before you enter the Jewel House. You will see the sparkling diamonds and gold used in coronation ceremonies. Since guides cannot speak inside, you will receive the important details beforehand.
See the Beefeaters quarters
Walk past the homes of the Yeoman Warders, the Tower's ceremonial guardian, who have lived here for centuries. Your guide explains the legend of the ravens and points out the haunted apartments. Learn about their unique daily lives.
Reflect at the Tower Green Memorial
Visit the site where notable figures like Anne Boleyn were executed. You will learn the true stories behind these historic deaths and the political intrigue of the Tudor court. This space offers a somber moment for reflection.
Finish at the White Tower
The guided portion ends at the White Tower, the fortress's oldest central keep. You are free to explore the original royal armory at your own pace before heading to the river. Your guide will provide your flexible Thames river boat tickets here.
End your tour on a Thames River cruise
Board a river boat for a scenic trip along the water to see London's famous bridges and skyline. Your flexible ticket allows you to use this transport at any time during your stay. It’s the perfect way to see the city from a new perspective.
