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.

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.
