What To Expect
Experience the Tower of London’s long and stormy history. Make your own way to the Tower and, once inside, join a tour led by a Yeoman Warder, or Beefeater. Learn the Tower’s origin story of 1066, and how it evolved from William the Conquerer's stronghold to a royal palace, armory, royal mint, prison and gruesome execution place.
Pass under the famous ravens that perch near Wakefield Tower and lose yourself in myth and history as you visit the White Tower and its Royal Armories collection, the Bloody Tower and Traitors’ Gate. Hear the tale of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's unfortunate second wife, who passed through Traitors’ Gate in 1536 and was quickly tried for adultery and executed. Walk to Tower Gate, the execution site where Boleyn and many others met their fateful ends.
Despite its chilling reputation, the Tower of London has also been the cradle for the British Crown Jewels since the 14th century. Get a close-up look at this remarkable regalia, the ultimate symbol of the British monarchy and the centerpiece of coronations since 1661. Don’t miss the famous 105.6-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond.
After you've visited the major sites, stroll along the Wall Walk and head into the Medieval Palace to admire the beautifully reconstructed spaces. Take your time soaking up this cornerstone of English history.

The tour guides are amazing. They have so much knowledge and drop a few jokes to keep the tour more interesting. Seeing the Crown Jewels takes your breath away.

Beefeater's tour very interesting and lively. Great to see the Crown Jewels for the first time ever...
Julie, Apr 2024
Great tour for all ages, the tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable. The Crown Jewels is a bonus to view and torture chambers so interesting.
Beverly_E, Apr 2024
The tour was very confusing. You needed more information that it isn’t a tour just the entry to London Tour. The Yeoman time is included in the entrance fee, not a separate tour. Please be clearer in your information. I had sent a message to clarify and didn’t get a response from you.

Loved all of it! The beefeater knowledge was amazing and put over to the audience in a very good humerus manner. The crown jewellery was gorgeous 😍

A big fan of Viator, but the description on th this tour is very misleading. We expected to join some sort of group as the reservations all indicated meeting point with GPS location; however this tour is essentially just a ticket that you get in advance during Prime Time hours. That's said, the Beefeater tour was well worth it as they are fabulous and the viewing the tower on your own is a treat. Only complaint is the way that via tour presents this particular tour. Lastly, any entry ticket gets you the Beefeater tour. Viator gives you nothing in this regard.

Viator did a miserable job with this booking. If not for the great customer service at the Tower of London we would have missed out on the experience and the expense. Viator's customer service was so bad I do not see me using the service again, and I will definitely warn others away.

I was disappointed and feel like I could have gotten the same experience for less without going through Viator. Huge group, hard to hear the Beefeater. I’d recommend doing an audio tour!
Emily_A, Apr 2024
We loved the beefeater tour and the whole tower self tour was great! The lines were short and the weather was great!
Joel_H, Apr 2024
Could not hear the tour guide because there was too many people booked on the he tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative.
