Your guide James Hart has been conducting tours for more than two decades. As a London “Blue Badge” tourist guide he has a great depth knowledge of the Tower of London and will provide you with plenty of stories about its famous residents and its bloodthirsty history. You will enter the towers and rooms of the medieval palace and the formidable White Tower to see King Henry the Eighth’s armour and weaponry. You will walk through the rooms used to hold prisoners and visit the private execution site. You will see the dazzling Crown Jewels and the spectacular Regalia used in the coronations of Kings and Queens for centuries. You will see the resident Yeoman Warders (or “beefeaters”) and the famous ravens who also live here.
Unique to this tour is an opportunity to upgrade with a Crown Jewels Afternoon Tea at the Four Seasons Hotel. A luxurious selection of sandwiches, pastries, scones, fine teas and champagne inspired by the treasures of the Hotel’s historic Royal neighbour.

Our tour guide James was fantastic. So knowledgeable and entertaining with the plentiful facts about the Tower of London. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend this particular tour and James due to the small group size and his extensive knowledge.

With all its history and architecture, the Tower of London is not to be missed. What made it one of our best tours, was our guide, James, who was the ultimate professional. With nearly 30 years of guide experience, he was a wealth of knowledge, spoke clearly & loudly. He effortlessly moved our small group of 6 through the crowds, while keeping us informed along the way. James even made an extra effort to connect with a couple who arrived late and enabled them to meet us shortly after entering the grounds.
James’s deep knowledge of the Tower’s history was exceptional and the tour exceeded our expectations.

James was an amazing tour guide. He was informative and witty and we could see well respected by the staff and beefeaters. If you get the opp to use James take it.

Excellent tour with James as our Guide. Great history and story telling through out the tour. Definitely recommend this tour, well worth the price. So much history and great exhibits including the Crown Jewels, of course.

Our tour guide called in sick, so the tour was canceled. Wasn’t notified by Viator, sent a message to the guide about 15 minutes past tour time and received no response. Called customer service only to find out the tour was off. We finally got a response from our tour guide about an hour later confirming he was ill. Would have been nice to receive a heads up prior to the long trip over to the towers.

Guide James was a no call no show. Viator customer service confirmed that we will receive a refund within 5 days. Let’s hope that happens. Asked them to please do a better job vetting who is allowed on their site. Thankfully we were able to buy tickets last minute and do a self guided tour - which by the way is all that is needed for this attraction.

We were really looking forward to this tour. Unfortunately James was a no show. He did not respond to messages and we were not given a heads up that the tour was canceled. Other people in the tour assisted one another with getting last minute tickets to enter The Tower of London, and we participated in the free tour offered. Just overall disappointed as we know we missed out on a great experience. Hope James is ok.

Great tour with a great tour guide. The tower itself is one of the coolest sites in London I visited and getting so much more information from James was wonderful.

Out of over 40 tours, this is the first 1 star I have left. We arrived on time, as expected and the only group there had already started the tour. I reached out to Viator and the Tour guide directly and was told to go get the tickets at the entry point and meet the guide. My son and I did just that and there was no guide to be found. I called and texted the guide to ask what does he look like and received to response. I uploaded picture proof of the event and Viator denied my claim, but, I disputed the charge (not the tickets, just the semi private part) and my CC refunded me the amount. Every tour that I have been on, the guides are easy to find, looking for their "customers". My guide responded with, there are lots of pictures of me and I should have known what he looks like. The guide has lots of great reviews so I am sure this is a moment where he just lost sight of who the customer is. Happy to share proof of everything stated.
