Meet your guide outside the Tower of London. Your timed entry tickets are ready, and your guide will give a quick intro to the fortress before you head inside.

Step through Traitors' Gate, the stone waterway entrance where condemned prisoners like Anne Boleyn once arrived by boat. Your guide sets the scene for nearly 1,000 years of history as a royal palace, prison, and execution site.

Your guide introduces the most iconic pieces, then you step inside independently to see coronation crowns, ceremonial swords, and the Cullinan diamonds. These treasures are still used by the monarchy today.

Stroll across Tower Green, where two of Henry VIII's wives were executed, as your guide shares the stories of Tudor betrayal and power. Continue to the Bloody Tower to hear the mystery of the two young princes who vanished here in 1483.

Your guide brings you to the King's House, an exclusive area closed to regular visitors, for 15 minutes alone with a real Yeoman Warder. Ask questions, hear royal gossip, and snap a photo with one of the Tower's most iconic guardians. (Not included with Express option.)

The tour concludes at the White Tower, built by William the Conqueror in 1078. Your guide shares what to look out for inside before you're free to explore the royal armor collection and medieval chapel independently.
