The Tower of London - Small Group Tour with a Local Expert
Overview
Your professionally qualified guide James Hart has been conducting tours for more than twenty five years. As a London “Blue Badge” guide he has a great depth knowledge of the site and will provide you with plenty of tales of its celebrated residents and its bloodthirsty history. You will enter the many towers of the medieval palace and see the White Tower where King Henry the Eighth’s armour is displayed. You will walk through rooms which held prisoners, and visit the private execution site. You will see the unique and dazzling Crown Jewels, and other splendid Regalia used in Coronations for centuries. You will see the resident Yeoman Warders (“Beefeaters”) and the famous ravens.
Clients taking this tour have an opportunity to upgrade with Afternoon Tea at the Four Seasons Hotel. A luxurious selection of sandwiches, pastries, scones, and teas.
A small group provides greater opportunity for asking questions, and to enjoy a more personal experience when compared to larger groups.
