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.
1h · Admission includedIt’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 min · Admission includedWe 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.
1h · Admission includedOnce 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.
30 min · Admission not includedJoin 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.
