From medieval torture to grim executions and infamous royal prisoners, the Tower of London has long found itself at the center of the city's dark history. Built by William the Conqueror in 1066, the historic castle has served as a Royal Menagerie, Her Majesty's prison, an execution site, a royal observatory, a Royal Mint, and a military storehouse over the course of its existence.

Entertaining and insightful tour of Tower Hill
The trip to Tower Hill was enjoyable and informative. Our tour guide, James Hart, was an excellent storyteller, bringing the remarkable millennium-long history of the Tower of London to life. The tour covered everything from infamous executions, armoury and the Crown Jewels, to ancient bathroom etiquette! Mr Hart has exceptional depth of knowledge and a very British sense of humour. We would strongly recommend to those interested in history. Do wrap up warm if you’re visiting in autumn/winter.

Amazing tour
Our tour with Mariana was amazing. She provided our family with the history of the Tower of London in a way that both our kids and us were able to understand and picture.

Excellent day!
Incredible day! Took my 11yo with me, and Carol was an incredible guide. Learned a ton, plenty of time to wander on our own for lunch or in the Tower of London. Saw 2x what I would have been able to do on my own. Only tip is on Sunday, you can’t tour St. Paul’s given its holding services (you can peek in only). Highly recommended! November is also a great time for low crowds and zero lines anywhere!
