Oplev, hvordan Henry III forvandlede fæstningen til en overdådig kongelig bolig. Edward I befæstede tårnet yderligere og brugte det som en strategisk base. Richard II's tumultariske regeringstid førte til, at han blev fængslet her efter at være blevet afsat af Henrik IV. Under Wars of the Roses blev Henry VI holdt fanget flere gange og mødte en tragisk afslutning i Wakefield Tower. Edward IV forstærkede Tower og sikrede hans kontrol over London. Vi vil afsløre mysteriet med Prinserne i Tårnet, Edward V og hans bror Richard, som forsvandt, mens de var under deres onkels, Richard III's værgemål. Henry VIIIs æra markerede tårnets rolle som både kongelig residens og dystert fængsel, hvor hans anden kone, Anne Boleyn, stod over for henrettelse. Lady Jane Grey, de ni dages dronning, blev også fængslet og henrettet her. Elizabeth I, før hun blev en af Englands største monarker, blev holdt i tårnet af sin halvsøster Mary I. James I, som brugte tårnet hovedsageligt til opbevaring af våben og ammunition.

Ben was a terrific guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. In addition to his knowledge on the history and facts, he was mindful of making sure the group was comfortable - meeting in the shade, etc. After our two hours with Ben, we were able to tour the white tower on our own time.
An incredible experience from start to finish! The Tower of London’s history was brought to life by our expert guide, with fascinating stories of kings, queens, and dramatic events. Seeing the Crown Jewels up close was truly breathtaking, and skipping the lines made everything smooth and stress-free. A must-do tour for anyone visiting London!
Great guide! Walter. The stories were well given and he prepared us for all the things we'd be seeing.
The tour was a really great experience! The guide was extremely enthusiastic and informative, sharing lots of interesting stories that made the whole experience much more exciting. I especially liked that the group wasn’t too large, so it was easy to look around comfortably and ask questions. I would definitely recommend it!

We’d love to welcome you on more adventures, so be sure to check us out for future city tours across Europe and the USA!
Our guide was very good. He tried to keep us close yet not too close due to the crowds of people. He was very nice to keep the pace a bit slower so those with walking issues could keep up without feeling like a burden. He had lots of stories to tell and kept us entertained.
Our guide was well informed and shared many facts related to the tower and it's past residents and prisoners. We were able to see all the levels, plus have small group time to see the crown jewels.
