Itinerary
Your tour begins outside the Tower of London
Your experience starts right outside the historic entrance where you will meet your professional guide and semi private group. After a brief greeting and an introduction to the day, your group of 10 will prepare to step past the perimeter walls.
Enter the Tower of London with timed entry tickets
Step straight into nearly 1,000 years of royal heritage using your pre-reserved tickets. Walk along the ancient stone pathways while your guide sets the stage, detailing the fortress's transformation from a royal palace to a notorious prison.
Stop before Traitor's Gate
Next, stand in front of the ominous water gate that once served as the final entrance for accused rebels. Listen to gripping accounts of the famous figures who passed through these bars under the watchful eyes of Tudor guards. Easily ask questions in your semi private setting.
Learn the dark history of the Bloody Tower
Then, explore the eerie atmosphere surrounding one of the site's most infamous structures, The Bloody Tower. Your guide shares the enduring mysteries of the lost princes and details how prominent prisoners spent their years of confinement.
Pause at Tower Green
Move forward to the solemn square where private executions took place away from the raucous London crowds. Discover the grim fates of high-profile figures, including fallen queens, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, who met their ends on these very grounds.
Your tour ends at the Crown Jewels
The guided portion of your semi private tour wraps up outside the spectacular Jewel House, where you will enter independently to view the glittering coronation regalia. From here, you are free to explore the iconic White Tower at your own pace.
Enjoy a Thames River Cruise with your flexible ticket
Finally, take to the water whenever it suits your schedule using your flexible cruise voucher. Glide past historic landmarks and modern skyscrapers, capturing final views of the city skyline from the open deck and seeing how the Tower of London connects to the Thames.
