About this tour

Step inside one of London’s most storied landmarks and get closer to its history with a private Beefeater encounter. This three-hour London Tower of London tour pairs the fortress’s famous Crown Jewels with time to explore its historic spaces and hear stories from your guide.

Meet your guide outside Starbucks at 3 Tower Place West Building, then head to the Tower with timed early-morning access. See the Crown Jewels, visit the White Tower and armory, and walk through Tower Green, the site of the executions of three English queens. A private audience with a Beefeater offers a chance to ask questions and take a photo. You can also choose a 30-minute White Tower experience led by a White Tower Warden, or upgrade to an electric Thames cruise. The White Tower option does not include the private Beefeater audience.

Expect plenty of walking across uneven ground and stairs, so comfortable shoes are essential. Choose this London Tower of London tour for a memorable encounter with the people and places behind the landmark’s history.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.57 from 979 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 5.1.
