Amazing
Absolutely amazing. To see where previous Kings lived and where the wives as well as others were beheaded was incredible. We did the VIP meet and greet with a Beefeater and learned so much. Our tour guide was also very knowledgeable about the Tower. I enjoyed this tour very much and highly recommend it.

Great history lesson, made fun.
Leon was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable.

Miranda was a wonderful...
Miranda was a wonderful guide! Lots of informative stories and information throughout the tour. Beefeater portion was also excellent with details about the career and time for questions. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Rachel, Miranda wove together the Crown Jewels' history with those fascinating Beefeater stories in a way that kept your group engaged throughout the VIP Tower of London tour. The chance to ask questions of someone who actually lives that world added a layer most visitors never get. We're so glad you'd recommend it.

A fun Saturday morning and ravens too!
So great and informative! Our guide was very considerate of the young girls on the tour and left out gory details. LOVE the Ravens!
Response from the operator: Your guide read the room perfectly on the Tower of London tour, adjusting the Crown Jewels story to keep the young guests engaged without losing the dramatic history. That thoughtfulness with mixed-age groups is what separates a solid tour from an unforgettable one, and the Ravens certainly helped! Thank you for joining us at one of London's most iconic sites.

Highly recommend-TYSM Frank
Amazing day at the Tower of London! Our guide Frank was full of knowledge and told many stories to bring the historical events to life! Our Beefeater meet and greet was fantastic. The jewels -stunning! Time to explore on our own was also key to a great day at the Tower.
Response from the operator: Frank brought the Tower of London to life in a way that transforms a famous landmark into a story—the kind of storytelling that makes five centuries of history feel immediate and vivid. Pairing that knowledge with the private Beefeater meet and greet and your own time to explore the Crown Jewels gave you exactly what makes this VIP tour memorable. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours, and we hope you carry those stories forward from London.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet cost?
+
Prices start at $94 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 937 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet?
+
Around 328 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Tower of London and Crown Jewels Tour with Private Beefeater Meet & Greet start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
