Description

Our guided tours of the Tower of London are a journey back in time to Tudor England, one of the bloodiest points in British history. Uncover the darkest secrets of the British royal family and their medieval palace, where many noble people and traitors met a tragic end. You can book a private or group experience. Witness the bloody intrigue at the Tower of London! Book a 2-hour private tour for an intimate experience of the Tower of London. Since William the Conqueror, this iconic monument has served as a fortress, prison and medieval palace of the British monarchs, so there is plenty to see inside! Your Private Guide will walk you through the most important events from the Tower’s history, explaining the meaning of the phrase “sent to the Tower” and introducing you to historic figures such as Richard I, Henry III and Elizabeth I. Explore the nooks and crannies of this World Heritage Site and learn about the royal conspiracies and executions that changed the history of medieval England! Book a 3-hour private tour to see the legendary Crown Jewels at the Jewel House in the Tower of London! The Crown Jewels exhibition is the Tower’s most popular attraction but, due to crowds, a 2-hour tour is usually not enough to cover it. With more time available, your Private Guide will happily take you to this exhibition and explain the symbolism and importance of the working collection of royal regalia. See the British Crown Jewels upclose! Choose the 4,5-hour option to book a 3-hour private tour of the Tower of London with Crown Jewels and an estimated 1,5-hour round-trip transfer from your accommodation in London. We will organize a private driver and a clean, air-conditioned vehicle exclusively for your pickup and drop-off. Book in advance to save time and effort! Book an extended 5-hour private tour to combine a visit to the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels exhibition with an exclusive experience of the Tower Bridge with skip-the-line tickets! Discover one of London's most recognizable symbols in a whole new way! Step inside the iconic Tower Bridge, enjoy the best panoramic views over the Thames River, and look down through the Glass Floor at London's busy life. Choose the 6,5-hour option to enjoy a 5-hour private tour of the Tower of London, Crown Jewels and Tower Bridge with an estimated 1,5-hour round-trip transfer from your accommodation. Book our convenient, private car transfers with pickup and drop-off service to not worry about being late or getting lost! We also offer a group tour of the Tower of London.
