The Tower of London is a historic fortress in central London, known for its role in British history and royal ceremonies. This walking tour lasts about two hours and includes a small group guided visit inside the Tower grounds. The tour starts near the main entrance, where the group meets an expert English-speaking guide. Participants will have a private 15-minute meeting with a Beefeater inside the Bloody Tower, a space usually closed to the public. Following the Beefeater meet, the guide leads the group to key sites such as Tower Green, the Bloody Tower, and Traitor’s Gate, providing detailed explanations of their historical importance. The tour also includes entry to the Jewel House, where the Crown Jewels are kept. These include 140 royal ceremonial items with over 23,000 precious stones, and the guide highlights the oldest pieces and the collection’s history after its restoration in 1660. After visiting the Crown Jewels, the guide escorts the group to the White Tower, the central keep of the fortress built to defend and impress. The guided portion ends here, and visitors can explore the White Tower on their own. Headsets are provided for groups of 10 or more, and all entry tickets are prebooked. The maximum group size is 25 people.
