What to expect
Your guide meets you at the entrance and walks you through the Tower's main attractions at your own pace. Expect plenty of standing and climbing narrow spiral staircases, particularly if you visit the White Tower or scale the ramparts. The guide contextualises what you're seeing—fortifications, Tudor apartments, execution sites—rather than simply pointing things out. Allow time for queues at popular spots like the Crown Jewels, even with skip-the-line access. The tour is flexible; if your group includes children, the guide adjusts focus and pacing accordingly.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes with good grip for uneven medieval stonework. The site spans 21 acres with substantial walking involved. Service animals are welcome. Public transport connections (Underground, buses) are close by. Not suitable if you have severe spinal or heart conditions.
