Overview

This walking tour in London lasts about three hours and includes early entry to the Tower of London. The group is small, led by an English-speaking guide. The tour starts with watching the Tower’s Opening Ceremony, a traditional military event that officially opens the landmark. Next, the group visits the Jewel House before public entry, allowing time to see the Crown Jewels without crowds. Afterwards, the tour continues around the Tower Walls, visits Edward I’s restored bedroom, and sees the resident ravens. The final stop is the White Tower, where visitors tour the medieval castle interior. At the end of the tour, guests receive a flexible one-way ticket for a London river cruise, which can be taken later from Tower, London Eye, Westminster, or Greenwich piers at a chosen date and time.
