★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 131 reviews · 4 hours · from $105

Walk Westminster’s royal and political sights, then visit the Tower of London and Crown Jewels on this English guided tour.

“Walking is definitely the best way to know a place. It was a great tour and the guide was known and funny. Just make sure you know what day you want to do this tour to ensure you get to see the change of guard (we didn’t know if was only happening some days of the week and the day of the tour was not one of them).”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 89 reviews · from $113

Enter the Tower of London before the crowds, see the Crown Jewels, cruise the Thames, and watch the Guards change in one busy morning.

“I couldn’t fault the tour and Louisa was just fabulous. Louisa knew where we should stand to get all the vantage points. Louisa was also able to bring a little comedy into history along the way. If you want more time to explore the Tower, you would need to go back on a separate ticket but I found the timings to be efficient for the morning program. The little boat ride was also a great way to see a little of London from the river. A great small group which allows us all to stay together and be where we need to be on time. Great morning out!”
