We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Tower of London, and our tour guide, Toby, was incredibly knowledgeable and quite funny and friendly. And we were so excited to have a private viewing with the Beefeater! Would highly recommend this tour!!

Itinerary
Meet your guide outside the Tower of London. Your timed entry tickets are ready, and your guide will give a quick intro to the fortress before you head inside.
Step through Traitors' Gate, the stone waterway entrance where condemned prisoners like Anne Boleyn once arrived by boat. Your guide sets the scene for nearly 1,000 years of history as a royal palace, prison, and execution site.
Your guide introduces the most iconic pieces, then you step inside independently to see coronation crowns, ceremonial swords, and the Cullinan diamonds. These treasures are still used by the monarchy today.
Stroll across Tower Green, where two of Henry VIII's wives were executed, as your guide shares the stories of Tudor betrayal and power. Continue to the Bloody Tower (exterior) to hear the mystery of the two young princes who vanished here in 1483.
Your guide brings you to the King's House, an exclusive area closed to regular visitors, for 15 minutes alone with a real Yeoman Warder. Ask questions, hear royal gossip, and snap a photo with one of the Tower's most iconic guardians. (Not included with Express options.)
The tour concludes at the White Tower, built by William the Conqueror in 1078. Your guide shares what to look out for inside before you're free to explore the royal armor collection and medieval chapel independently.

Daniel was excellent! The tour was educational and entertaining.
Warren was a great guide. Thank you.
Our guide Sean was amazing and full of great stories.
You learn from a personal guide, you don't have to stand and read everything or have a audio box drone on about every single display. The Beef eater with a small group was the best.
Great tour including Crown Jewels. Would have stayed longer to explore but were already worn out. It was neat to speak with a Beefeater.
Exceptional and worth the time and money.
Arianna was a wonderful guide. Very informative and interesting stories. Fascinating place and history
Dan provided an exceptional tour. Great detail on the overall history and had a splendid time. The meet and greet was a nice highlight.
Steven was a fantastic, knowledgeable guide. His story telling approach to history was wonderful. The Beefeater that spoke to us at the end of the tour was so much fun. I am so happy that we booked this tour - we got an education in a fun and engaging morning. Seeing the Crown Jewels was also a highlight.
This was by far the best tour experience I have had and it was all thanks to Steven. He was so enthusiastic, engaging, and knowledgeable. I am also so glad I booked the experience with the Beefeater! Barry was so entertaining and a wealth of information.
Jill was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and lovely. We also enjoyed Yeoman Barry. Highly recommend!!
Tour guide Andrew was knowledgeable and funny. Great time of year to visit. Pair with musical Six, highly recommend
Good guide, interesting information, enjoyable experience. A lot of walking required, but worth it. Good guide, interesting information, enjoyable experience. A lot of walking required, but worth it.
Great tour but know that there is alot of walking and steps required. The history is amazing and worth the time.
This was a fun tour enjoyed by the whole family including our 13 year old granddaughter. Our guide did a great job and was most informative. The VIP experience with the yeoman warder was a highlight. Recommended!
Highly recommend. Our guide Jill was knowledgeable and funny.
Nate was a cheerful, warmhearted and knowledgeable guide who study to the scheduled and delivered on the promise in the add copy.
We really enjoyed our tour with Frances and the Beefeater Barry! They are both really passionate about history and proud to share their knowledge. The Crown Jewels were amazing to view! The crows added that little bit of humour which was great. Thanks!
Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Steven was excellent with the history and stories of interest. The female SgtMaj Beefeater we met was so informative, funny, and represented the Beefeaters well.
I’m sure most people were very interested in its history, but we tire easy and grew bored. Guide was not able to keep our interest
Great tour! Ben did a wonderful job providing an informative and engaging overview of everything the Tower of London has to offer. After the guided portion, we had plenty of time to explore on our own. The private meeting with the Beefeater was an especially nice touch and made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!
My tour Guide was excellent The Building with the Crown Jewel ‘s was amazing A large number of people going through The Tower of London but well managed 🩷 London
It was a blast! So much fun!!! I really enjoyed it!
Loved the tour - good mix of stories, sights and meeting the beefeaters. Warren was a fabulous guide - bit of humor and lots of good info. Highly recommend.
Had an amazing experience and Thea was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
Stephen provided a wonderful tour. It is definitely worth having a guide. Stephen had great depth of knowledge, was an excellent communicator, and very personable.
Great tour, lots of interesting history.
Dan was terrific. He was funny and really knowledgeable. We had a good time, and well worth it. Meeting the Beefeater was a treat.
Altho the Tour Guy guide was nice, he didn’t do much more than point us to buildings we should visit: few stories, less history than expected or wanted. Beafeater was good for a picture but not mych else.
Dan was fantastic! Very informative and entertaining. He went at a great pace that wasn't too rushed or slow. I would definitely recommend to anyone!
Dan was great! Well worth the time. We loved it.
Jackie was our tour guide and did an outstanding job educating us about the tower with humor. She was friendly and professional. Michael aka Barnie was also amazing. We highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable.
It was fairly informative but quite expensive for the hour and a half tour and Not much to do with beefeaters as we watched them unlock the gate with all the other people in line.
Great Tower tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Our guide, Sean, was a very engaging storyteller, and also very knowledgeable. The meet and greet with the “Beefeater” (don’t call them Beefeaters; they’re Yeoman Warders) was great fun and the tour ticket avails you of a trip to the Crown Jewels and even better, the opportunity to wander about for further discovery on your own after the formal tour ends. I highly recommend it, especially for those with a little knowledge or interest in English history who are interested in learning what the history books don’t tell you.
Padar Kelly, our guide was excellent! He was very informative, helpful and knowledgeable, as well as entertaining! I highly recommend this tour!
Our guide was very informative and made the tour interesting.
This tour was wonderful! The guide, Daniel, was awesome and provided such great information without it being overwhelming. This was a great tour especially for our first time in London. The earpieces were so helpful too
Dan did a wonderful job as a Tour Guide! Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the tower
Excellent and entertaining!
Booked the 10 am tour and was greeted by the rep and the guide. The tour started promptly. Gavin our guide provided comprehensive commentary and history of the Tower of London. The meet and greet with the Beefeater was also outstanding!
The tour guide from Tour Guy was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. She knew good information that made the tour very interesting.
Gavin was great and very informative
So worth the money for the guided tour. Nice size group and such an experienced wonderful tour director!
