Tour Important Information
This is a walking tour. Access to the Medieval palace, battlements, Torture chamber, Bloody and White towers are all via steps. If you have mobility issues you can avoid some of these. There are cobbles, so walking shoes are best. The Tower is only wheelchair friendly on the ground levels.
I do not include entrance fees. Currently these are £33 per person - with child reductions.
You will have booked these ahead of time online (as the line will take too long). The website is Historic Royal Palaces.
Important message from the guide
I am not a driver guide - but I can arrange transport if we are out of town or other locations. We can use the Tube (its quite safe) if getting around London.
