Itinerary
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.
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.
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.
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.

Lucy Adey is the best tour guide. She brought the stories to life. I could listen to her all day!!!!
Guide was well educated and knowledgeable about the Tower and it's history. Hindsight I would have self guided and saved lots of money.
Very good tour. Much nicer to have it as a private tour instead of a bigger group. Some places can be harder to hear and move as a bigger group so having our own guide for our group of four was great.
Jess was amazing today. Super informative and so kind. She answered all our dumb questions and was able to just chit chat with us about normal stuff as well as historical stuff
Lucy was an amazing tour guide. She was so accommodating and our family loved the tour. So interesting!
We did a private tour of the Tower of London. Marina, our guide gave excellent commentary and really made the history come alive. The pace was good with chances to sit down as she relayed the history of the tower. As a knee replacement person I appreciated that. One thing to note is there are a lot of steps on this tour but it’s very doable.
Our guide was amazing. She was well informed, personable, and made our time even better. Request Jenmifer
Lucy was such a gem! We learned a ton about London, the Royal Family through the years, and Tower of London. She knew how to work the line and what to see in what order depending on the crowd. We wish we could take her with us for the rest of our trip!
We had an amazing tour of the Tower with Lucy. She provided helpful context and fascinating stories that made the visit much more engaging than it would have been otherwise. We all loved it - including our two teenage sons. Highly recommend!!
Lucy was absolutely FABULOUS!!! She was waiting on us when we arrived and greeted us with kindness, charm, and knowledge. We have toured all over Europe the past 6 weeks and Lucy was the BEST we have had as a guide!!! She brought the Tower of London to life for us as she painted a word picture to add to our visual experience. Thank you Lucy for such a wonderful experience!
Our guide Lucy was fabulous! She only kept my teenager interested! I would definitely recommend this excursion!
Family of 4 toured Tower of London (kids, 16yo and 19yo) with Lucy as our guide. We all enjoyed the tour. Lucy was a great guide that spoke to all of us in a way that kept our attention and interest. I recommend this tour with 2 thumbs up!
Marina was such a lovely tour guide through the Tower! She is so knowledgeable and had such creative ways of sharing the history with us. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic tour of the Tower of London thanks to Marina. Informative and entertaining. I particularly appreciate her speaking style. She was so natural and personable, rather than scripted/memorized. Our tour with Marina definitely elevated our experience - highly recommend!!
Marina was excellent guide. Her bag of visuals helped us learn so much more than we ever could do on our own. Well worth the price.
We were lucky to have Galina as our private tour guide today. We are a grandma, my adult daughter and my teenaged grandkids. My concerns were not knowing if three hours was too long for a tour and if the kids would be bored. Rest assured, if you’re thinking of booking this experience, the time flies and all of us were thoroughly engaged every minute. Galina clearly loves history and weaves in exciting stories about the Tower of London and its many occupants. She answered lots of questions from all of us and was engaging with the kids. This is an enormous venue (we were surprised by how vast it is) and Galina walked us through it patiently. This tour is expensive and it is worth every cent. We would take another tour with Galina any time!!
This was a fun and fascinating experience. Marina was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the tower and the monarchy. She really did a great job of steering us around the crowds. We learned so much, and the 3 hours flew by. This was definitely a highlight of our trip.
We were taken back in time at the Tower of London. With very descriptive narrative we were transported to a time when the tower was a lived in castle to the current day. And the Crown Jewels are breathtaking.
We have visited the Tower of London before but without a guide. We splurged on a guide this time and felt it was a great decision. Communication before the tour was good. Our guide, Marina was so knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting! We absolutely recommend this tour. Thank you Marina!
Great tour. Ben had a lot of knowledge and was fun to be around. Highly recommend him. Tower of London is much larger than we expected so plenty to see within 3hrs.
Tour guide was a fountain of knowledge on British History and the Tower. Very pleasant experience. Would highly recommend.
This tour of the Tower of London was fantastic! Our guide Marina was very pleasant, fun and extremely knowledgeable. We were thinking that a 3 hour tour may be too long, but instead time flew by and we had a great experience. In fact, we kept Marina a little longer asking more questions. We highly recommend this tour!
This is a private walking tour of the Tower grounds, Crown Jewels and outbuildings. Our guide was knowledgeable and we had plenty of time to ask questions. Going private allows you to get at your own pace. Marina was awesome!
Lucy was phenomenal!! She made history come alive for the whole family! She was so knowledgeable and entertaining 😃
This was our 3rd visit to the Tower of London and the Best! Marina our guide, took us to new locations and explained everything using stories to help us visualize the events that took place in the Tower of London! Marina is an Excellent guide and this is a Great tour!
Our guide Mariana has a wonderful knowledge of the Tower and expertly and pleasantly guided us through the tower using amusing and eye catching visuals that provided the historical background for our experience. In short, Mariana made our tour through history educational and fun. I could not recommend this experience more
Marina was an excellent tour guide. She kept my four children engaged while still sharing plenty of fascinating history for the adults. We wouldn’t have enjoyed the Tower of London nearly as much without her. She truly made our day wonderful. Thank you, Marina!
Wonderful tour experience with Lucy. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and dynamic when presenting all the historical facts! A must do tour!
We had a great day at the Tower of London with our guide Ben. He was wonderful, and knowledgeable. We were able to see everything without long waits because he knew which areas to visit first to avoid the crowds. We had a group of 8, and we all enjoyed this tour very much. It was a highlight of our trip!
Absolutely wonderful tour with Lucy our tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and an incredible storyteller. We all agreed it was our favorite tour of the trip.
Ben was our guide . Traveling with 8 people 75-7 and he made it enjoyable for everyone. Lots of interesting historical facts..plenty of scenic photos taken and fun for all.
Lucy was one of the best, if not THE best, guide we have EVER had for a tour!! Can’t recommend this experience enough. She was an incredible storyteller and kept our family engaged for the duration of the experience. Kudos to a fantastic professional who elevated the day beyond measure. Thank you, Lucy!
Lovely and informative experience! Our guide Marina was great. She shared great stories and context for locations throughout the Tower and grounds. It was a very memorable and rewarding experience.
Marina was extremely knowledgeable and answered every question. It was a wonderful tour, very memorable.
It’s worth every penny to have your own personal tour guide! Lucy was lovely, and she was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining!
Lucy is a wonderful guide, punctual, enthusiastic, well educated and informed. The day prior to our tour she texted with a photo of our exact meeting place to eliminate any confusion, and she was willing to answer all questions, even those not related to our tour. We highly recommend her!
Wonderful time with a great guide. She was extremely patient and detailed about the entire Tower area.
Denise was absolutely brilliant! She was extremely knowledgeable and showed us the little things that most would miss. We learned so much and she was very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend Denisa
We had a wonderful private tour of the Tower of London with Denisa! She was very knowledgeable and had a warm personality that made us feel like we were taking the tour with a friend. We had limited knowledge of the Tower but she answered all our questions kindly and told us about the history in an entertaining and story-like way. We can not recommend this tour with Denisa enough!
Understand that there are quite a few narrow steps that you have to go up and down to get to the towers
The tour great. Marina was very informative and attentive to my wife's physical limitations. We loved the history and the crown jewels.
This was a wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Marina) who walked us through the history of the Tower of London, it's prisoners, the executions that took place, and all of the royalty that resided there through the ages. Marina was very good at explaining the succession of kings using many visual aids (which we appreciated very much). You could tell that she really enjoyed explaining all the detailed information she had, which made this a very enjoyable tour. We also were able to view the Royal Crown Jewels, and with Marina's explanation of what to look for while viewing, we were able to see things we would have missed. This private tour was worth every cent, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves England history.
Galina was an excellent tour guide. She texted the day before to tell us where to meet her. As a Blue Badge holder, she was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us interested throughout the tour. She guided us around the Tower of London to minimize queues and prepped us beforehand as to what we were going to see when we went to an area in which she was not allowed to talk to us. Her explanations of The Crown Jewels, along with the pictures she had, really prepared us for what we were going to see and the history behind them. It really improved the entire experience. At the end of the tour, she walked us the entire way to the tube station to ensure we got on the correct train. Definitely recommend this tour.
Marina was an excellent tour guide. She was personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Tower, the royal family and London in general. I highly recommend this tour!!
Amazing experience of The Tower Of London with Denisa. She was so kind, fun, accommodating and knowledgeable. We loved her. Thank you Denisa and The Tower of London for a spectacular tour!
Lucy did a fantastic job navigating us around and getting us in places without long waits. We got the entire history of the tower and Lucy kept it fun and engaging for us, including my 12 and 15 year olds. Highly recommend!
Outstanding tour guide (Ben) that was wonderfully personable and knowledgeable. He rates 6-stars all day long. What doesn't is the fact that the company oversells how quiet and crowd-free it will be. We were early, and it wasn't. Their relentless marketing and pressure for an immediate review is also off-putting. It'd be nice to actually get home before getting pummeled by email and text.
Lucy was a perfect guide for the Tower of London tour. She was enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history to life.
Our guide Lucy was fantastic. She kept our family engaged with great stories and was a pleasure to spend time with. The Tower itself is fascinating but it was the guide that made it an exceptional experience
