Tower of London Guided Tour with Optional Thames River Cruise

Location London, England, United Kingdom
$124
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

The Tower of London has guarded the Thames for almost 1,000 years, and its stones still hold the darkest stories in British history. With timed-entry tickets in hand, you step past the long ticket queues and head inside with a storytelling guide who unpacks royal scandals, executions, and the unsolved mystery of the missing princes. Stand at Traitor's Gate, walk Tower Green, and pause at the Bloody Tower before heading on your own to see the dazzling Crown Jewels and the medieval White Tower.

Cap it all off with a flexible 30-minute Thames River cruise ticket you can use whenever fits your London plans.

Pick the version of the day that fits you best: stick with a focused Tower of London visit without the cruise, add a flexible Thames cruise to the main combo tour, or upgrade to an extended half-day that pairs the Tower with a guided river cruise and Westminster Abbey entry.

  • Tower Bridge Official Gift Shop
    Meet your guide outside the Tower of London Gift Shop, near the main entrance area for Tower visitors. Look for your guide and check in with your group, then get a quick orientation on how the tour will unfold before heading inside with timed-entry tickets in hand.
  • Tower of London
    Walk through ancient gateways and into nearly 1,000 years of royal drama, military might, and political intrigue. Pause at Traitor's Gate for the chilling story of those who passed through and never returned, including Anne Boleyn, then continue to the Bloody Tower for the unsolved mystery of the missing princes and the imprisonment of Sir Walter Raleigh. Stand on Tower Green, where some of England's most famous figures met their tragic ends, before your guide leads you toward the Jewel House.
  • The Crown Jewels
    Your guide hands you off at the entrance to the Jewel House and shares fascinating stories about what awaits inside before saying goodbye. Step inside independently to see coronation crowns, royal scepters, and the dazzling Cullinan diamonds up close, all still used in British royal ceremony today.
  • Climb the medieval keep that William the Conqueror built in 1078 to display royal armor, swords, and the chapel of St. John. Explore on your own and take in centuries-old medieval weaponry at your own pace before heading toward the Thames. (pass by)
  • Walk a short distance from the Tower of London to Tower Pier and board your boat for a relaxing 30-minute cruise along the Thames. Glide past Tower Bridge, the Shard, Shakespeare's Globe, and London's iconic skyline before disembarking at one of the central piers to continue your London day from there. Your flexible ticket is typically valid for one month, so you can use it the same day or save it for later (the Thames River cruise is not included with the Basic option). (pass by)
