Choose the Beefeater option for a Yeoman Warder meeting and photo opportunity; Express options omit both. 4.78 from 468 reviews at €81 per person for 2h. ## Overview The Tower of London holds nearly 1,000 years of royal history, and this tour gets you closer to it than most visitors ever go. Timed entry takes you past the ticket queues, and an expert guide brings the fortress to life through stories of royal betrayal, political intrigue, and centuries of captivity. The tour moves through the Tower's key landmarks: Traitors' Gate, where prisoners once arrived by boat; Tower Green, site of Tudor executions; the Jewel House, home to coronation crowns and the Cullinan diamonds; and the Bloody Tower, where two young princes disappeared in 1483. The tour's signature moment is a private 15-minute audience with a real Yeoman Warder at the King's House, an area closed to the public. Ask questions, hear royal gossip, and snap a photo with one of London's most iconic guardians. For a shorter visit, the Express option covers the guided tour and Crown Jewels access in 90 minutes, without the Beefeater meet and greet. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please arrive 10 minutes early. - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Group size varies by option: max 20 from €81 · max 10 from €116 - 5 start times: between 08:30 and 11:30 - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Children from €21: ages 0 to 5 ## Key facts - Price: from €81 per person for the Express Max 20 (No Beefeaters) option; other options up to €116 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.78/5 from 468 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 95% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: The Tour Guy ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Express Max 20 (No Beefeaters) | €81 / person | English | Small Group Tour: Does NOT include: Beefeater meet and greet, King's House access, and photo opportunity.
