Private Beefeater Vibes

Step into history with a real Beefeater at the Tower of London! These legendary guards have been protecting the Crown Jewels since the 15th century. You'll get 15 minutes of exclusive face-time near Tower Green, filled with stories, jokes, and some serious royal tea. These guys don’t mess around: 20+ years of military service required to join the squad.

Crown Jewels: Bling Royalty

Over 23,000 gems, 140 pieces, and more history than your whole Insta feed. Your guide will break down the most fascinating pieces, including the oldest item in the collection before you enter and see the jewels on your own. Hint: it survived the English Civil War!

The Tower's Legendary History

From a palace to a prison to a zoo (yep, they had exotic animals), the Tower’s almost 1,000 years of history is wild. Your guide will take you through famous spots like Traitor’s Gate, the chapels, and Tower Green, where history was literally made.

The White Tower

End your tour at the original castle that scared off invaders, which still has some serious weaponry in its armory. You can explore on your own after, but your guide will make sure you know all the can't-miss spots.
