Step inside the Tower of London and experience centuries of history with a complete tour led by an expert Blue Badge guide. Begin your visit at the Jewel House, where you’ll get an up-close look at the Crown Jewels, home to 23,000 sparkling gemstones, while learning the significance behind these royal treasures. Walk along the castle ramparts, enjoy stunning views of the Thames, and hear the fascinating stories behind the Bloody Tower, Traitor’s Gate, and the Tower’s famous ravens.
