About this tour

Step inside centuries of royal drama on a small-group Tower of London tour led by a professionally qualified local guide. With more than 25 years of experience, Blue Badge guide James Hart brings the fortress’s celebrated residents and blood-soaked history to life.

Explore the medieval palace and its towers, including rooms that once held prisoners and the private execution site on Tower Green. In the White Tower, see the armor of Henry VIII, then admire the dazzling Crown Jewels and coronation regalia. Visit the Royal Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, the Bloody Tower, and Wakefield Tower, and look out for the Yeoman Warders, known as Beefeaters, and the Tower’s famous ravens. Pre-paid admission is included, so you can focus on the stories and sights. The small-group setting also offers more room to ask questions and enjoy a personal experience.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.85 from 457 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 7.6. Top 23% in London means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in London by this score.
