Highlights
- Tower of London - Keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in 1079, the Tower of London has had many faces: as a mint, an observatory, a zoo, an armory, a royal palace, a treasury and most notoriously, as a place of execution.
Home to both the Beefeaters and the Crown Jewels today, the Tower’s story is one of intrigue, scandal and ceremony, definitely best uncovered with a private guide and a morning entrance before the crowds arrive.
Upon meeting your private guide, you will first discover the iconic sites on the outer walls such as Traitor’s Gate and Tower Hill before entering the complex to view Britain’s most treasured royal artefacts, walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn, see the armour of Henry VIII, visit William the Conqueror’s White Tower, meet the ravens and learn everything you could ever need to know about this most historic of London’s palaces.

HIGHLY recommend Urban Saunters!!! - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Tower, and absolutely made the visit and tour worth it.
My mother-in-law loved having the guide to herself, and was able to take all the time she needed to tour and ask questions.
If you're interested in the Tower of London, I highly recommend a private tour to truly get context and depth that you won't get on group tours or on your own.

Great family tour! - I am so glad l booked this tour of the Tower of London. Our children (ages 9 and 11) learned a lot. Our guide was excellent. His historical knowledge and real love of that history made his narratives so good. He was very friendly, and made sure we really got that special experience. I definitely recommend this tour company.

Fantastic experience! - We have always wanted to visit and we were not disappointed. The meet up location was easy to find and the tour started promptly. The Crown Jewel exhibit was spectacular. The tour was a perfect length for my attention span, and then it was nice to have all time we wanted after the guided tour was over to wander around and explore more and take photos.
The whole experience was fantastic and our guide was amazing.
Very impressed with Urban Saunters and will definitely come back in the future!
