Itinerary
Your tour begins outside the Tower of London
You'll meet your guide right outside the Tower of London. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher. Here, you'll get a quick intro to this legendary fortress.
Enter the Tower of London with pre-reserved tickets
Head inside with your timed-entry tickets and past Traitors' Gate, where prisoners like Anne Boleyn once arrived by boat. As a morning tour, you'll beat the crowds that pile up in the afternoon.
See the Crown Jewels up close
Continue to the Jewel House, where gold crowns, ceremonial swords, and royal regalia still used by the monarchy today wait behind the glass. Your guide shares the stories of the most iconic pieces before you step inside on your own.
Walk through Tower Green
Step onto the grassy square where two of King Henry VIII's wives met their end. Your guide tells the gripping stories of the power struggles, royal betrayals, and executions that defined Tudor England from this spot.
Visit the Bloody Tower
Your guide will lead you through the fearsome Bloody Tower, sharing the incredible legends and historical dramas that played out within its stone walls. You’ll learn about the high-profile prisoners held here, including the mysterious disappearance of the 'Princes in the Tower.'
Meet a Beefeater (Yeoman Warder) outside the King's House
Finally, your guide brings you to the King's House, an exclusive area closed to regular visitors. Spend 15 minutes here with a real Yeoman Warder who shares royal gossip, wild legends, and answers to your burning questions.
Snap a photo with a Beefeater
Before you head out, this is your chance to grab a quick photo with your Yeoman Warder to remember the moment. Capture the iconic Guardian of the Tower in uniform for the perfect souvenir of your morning here.
Your tour ends outside the White Tower
After your meet and greet, your guide shares the story of the White Tower and what to look out for inside. The tour then wraps up, and you're free to continue exploring on your own.

The tour guide Steven was very personable and nice. He obviously cared about doing a great job for everyone. Barry, (the beefeater) was funny and really great to listen to. Somehow I think we missed going into the bloody tower. There were stories about it when we were outside. I think I expected more from the tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of the Tower of London with Francis. She gave everyone a big picture perspective of the place and then brought in the details to make the place come to life. I liked how Francis zeroed us in on key highlights given our two hour visit limitations. One could easily spend a day or more at the facility. Meeting a Beefeater and hearing from him was a special part of the tour. I would recommend Francis and this tour to anyone with limited time in seeing the Tower. No regrets.

Let me start by saying that being "touristy" is against my nature.... but this is my first time to London and I had a few days between work requirements and I promised my wife I would embrace it.... and I am so glad that I did. Stephen (our tour guide) was absolutely amazing. It was fantastic, from beginning to end. He's clearly knowledgable, relatable and passionate about what he does. The group all agreed and the only thing I wish is that I had done this tour first (before other attractions that I had visited like Westminster Abbey) so that I would have a better understanding and appreciation for the history all around London. 10/10. Would absolutely recommend to a friend.

This was the best tour of our 2 week holiday. Our guide Paeda (probably spelled wrong!) was absolutely spellbinding as he told us the history of all the kings and queens. He made everything come alive right from William the Conquerer. The Beefeater was great and the royal jewels were spectacular. The real down to earth personal touch for our wonderfully small group was Paeda.

We really enjoyed our tour with Frances this morning. She gave us a great overview of the history of the Tower and gave us great tips on what to notice when we went through the Crown Jewels as well as what to go back and view when our tour was over. We very much enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

We had 1 week in London so maximizing our time was essential. This tour of the Tower of London was the perfect length to see all the essentials with an excellent historical narrative. Our tour guide, Ariana, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and funny at times. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

First off there was a mix up. We were traveling with 6 others and fir some reason my husband and were going to be separated. Frances took care of it and boy was i glad. She was fantastic. She gets a score of 100 because 10 is not enough.
So interesting!

My wife and I researched the many different tour options available for the TOL and decided on The Tour Guy based on what was offered. Our guide Peter was a blue badge certified guide and it showed. He was extremely knowledgeable and injected humor into his stories. We were captivated from the very start. We had a small group of 17 which is less than the 25 max. We felt the tour made the experience visiting the Tower of London more meaningful and memorable.

Our guide Peadar was fantastic! What a personality! We enjoyed his enthusiasm and boundless energy. It’s obvious that he loves what he does. His detailed facts and graphic story telling of the Tower of London kept the group engaged. We enjoyed meeting the Beefeater and hearing his stories. The tour flew by! Highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll have Peadar as your guide!
