Private Tower of London Tour at Crown Jewels Access

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

The queue for the Crown Jewels can eat an hour of your morning before you've seen a single gem. This private tour skips it: through the gates first, into the jewel exhibit before the general crowds arrive, then a full walk through the Tower of London's medieval fortifications and royal armouries with a Blue Badge guide entirely your own. See centuries of royal history, from execution sites to suits of armor, at your own pace.
