Overview

Join us for this 3 hour tour of a medieval palace right in the heart of London. The Tower of London is crammed full of history, once a prison, a royal palace, a royal menagerie and armoury.  Our journey takes us through several towers, where we can re-live the lives previous inmates. The highlight is the jewel house, where you will be dazzled by the magnificent display of gemstones and the crown jewels. Your private Blue Badge guide is full of facts and stories to engage and entertain you during the tour, making for a terrific experience.  If you have any children in your party they will enjoy a fun quiz with a prize at the end.

Itinerary

  • Tower of London

    The tour starts at your allocated time, your guide will be waiting for you at the Tower Welcome Centre, just outside the main entrance. We have to pass through a few gates with murder holes to get safely inside. Your guide will introduce you to Merlina, Jubilee, Grip and other ravens. Some might be resting in their cages, some freely hopping around. They might even pose for a picture, but don’t get too close, they can bite! Who was imprisoned in the Bloody tower? Let’s find out, right after we escape the torture chamber, where you can still see some of the brutal medieval instruments.

    1 hour

  • Jewel House

    It’s time now to be impressed by the jewels, the crown, the sceptre, the orb and much more. The entire collection, which is guarded behind thick doors, has an unimaginable value.

    30 minutes

  • White Tower

    We will explore the white tower next, the oldest part of the fortress. Packed full with armour once belonging to famous kings, Henry VIII, Charles I, to name just a few. Upstairs, children and grown up’s can get involved with an interactive exhibition. There is so much to see around the Tower of London.

    1 hour

  • Tower Bridge

    Once we escape the fortress, you will have a fantastic view of the famous Tower Bridge. We might even be lucky enough to see it open.

Deep Dive into the Tower of London

Published on Mar, 2025

The Tower of London tour with Marina was a highlight of our trip to London. As a history teacher, Marina had a deep understanding of the Tower’s history and its inhabitants. She was also excellent at answering questions and keeping the tour engaging for the whole family. She did a particularly good job preparing us for the Jewel House, ensuring we knew what to look for and the significance of the different crowns, the golden spoon, the scepter, the orb, etc. This made the whole experience much more meaningful. Marina was also attentive to our pace, adjusting the tour to match our interests. Using playing cards, photos, and books, she was both engaging and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend this type of tour for families with middle or high school kids. They will definitely gain more from the experience than they would with a self-guided approach.

Must do tour!

This is a great tour! Our guide, Claudia, made this tour an amazing & memorable experience for our family. She is so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She clearly adapted the tour as we went along to ensure all of our different interests were addressed. She welcomed questions and shared so many intriguing stories. She really made history come alive. Everyone in our family (even our ten year old) was fully engaged through every minute of the tour. We all consider it a highlight of our trip. Many thanks to Claudia!

A great experience

Our tour of the Tower of London with Lucy was fantastic. She provided so much information and history in a fun and engaging manner.

Exceeded our expectations!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide (Marina) was incredibly knowledgeable and made our tour of the tower the best experience we could ask for. As we moved through the site she made sure we understood key historical facts so that we could appreciate what we were seeing with the additional context. The whole tour had that "friend telling you about one of their favorite interests" vibe that made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!
