What You Will Do
I will bring the Tower of London alive for you with its hidden secrets, medieval tales and sacred legends.
I'm a professional, knowledgeable and friendly Blue Badge Guide (ITG highest qualification) and The Tower is my favourite London attraction.
This private tour is bespoke, well-planned, and very entertaining, ideal for families with children, and adults alike. It includes discovering the Tower as a fortress with its heavy gates, portcullis and murder holes and visiting the medieval kings' apartments. We will also climb up the White Tower with its oldest exhibition of armor, wooden horses and beautiful Romanesque architecture.
Last but not least, we will admire the priceless collection of Crown Jewels, still used by the Royal Family.
