Explore the Tower of London with a private Blue Badge guide, family-friendly stories, prebooked tickets, and a close look at the Crown Jewels.

About this tour

Explore the Tower of London with a private Blue Badge guide who brings its long history to life for families through stories and anecdotes tailored to keep younger visitors engaged. This 180-minute London Tower of London family guided tour takes you inside a 900-year-old castle and fortress known for its famous prisoners and the Crown Jewels.

See the Tower’s most important areas and get close to celebrated gemstones, crowns, diadems, scepters, and pieces of golden plate. Prebooked tickets mean you can skip the ticket-purchase line, though security checks are mandatory and the Crown Jewels queue may be long in high season. The guide cannot provide commentary inside the Crown Jewels gallery.

Meet your guide outside the Learning and Community Groups Meeting Point, next to Pret, on the slope. The Tower’s cobbled paths, many steps, and low doorways make comfortable shoes a smart choice, and some areas are not pushchair-friendly. Book this London Tower of London family guided tour for a lively, personal introduction to one of the city’s most storied landmarks.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.90 from 142 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 13% in London means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in London by this score.
