Frequently Asked Questions

What makes LetzGo's VIP Tower of London Early Access tour different from a standard visit?

LetzGo’s VIP Early Access tour includes a 30-minute private tour of the White Tower led by a White Tower Warden — a specialist guide exclusive to this experience — covering the Royal Armouries collection, the Chapel of St John the Evangelist (the oldest church in London with its original Norman interior), and the personal stories of the Tower’s most significant prisoners. Combined with scheduled access to the Crown Jewels before standard opening crowds, this is the most intimate and historically detailed Tower experience LetzGo offers.

Who is a White Tower Warden, and what exclusive access do they provide?

White Tower Wardens are specialist heritage guides based inside the White Tower who lead private tours of the building’s most significant areas — including the Royal Armouries (the world’s oldest arms collection in its original location), the Norman Chapel of St John, and the upper floors where notable prisoners were held. Their 30-minute private session is exclusive to LetzGo’s VIP tour and provides access to historical detail and personal narratives unavailable on the standard public tour.

Is the Tower Green and Scaffold Site included on LetzGo's VIP White Tower tour?

Yes — LetzGo’s VIP tour covers Tower Green, the Scaffold Site, the Bloody Tower and the broader Tower complex, in addition to the exclusive White Tower session with the Warden. Your Blue Badge guide provides narrative throughout, covering the Ravens (whose presence is maintained by royal decree), the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) and the full story of the Tower’s 1,000-year history as fortress, palace, prison and royal treasury. Scheduled entry tickets to the Tower and Crown Jewels are included in the price.

What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?

We offer free cancellation and free rescheduling on all bookings made more than 24 hours before your scheduled tour departure time. If your plans change, simply contact us as early as possible and we will rebook you onto another available date at no additional charge.

Cancellations or changes requested less than 24 hours before departure are not possible, and the booking will be treated as non-refundable. This policy exists because our tours operate with a limited number of guests, and last-minute cancellations prevent us from offering the spot to other travellers.

We strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date, particularly during peak travel seasons (June to September) when availability fills quickly. If you are booking for a group, please contact us directly before completing your booking so we can advise on availability and any group-specific arrangements.

Is this tour accessible for guests with reduced mobility or physical limitations?

We want to be transparent about this so that every guest can make an informed decision before booking. This tour is not currently recommended for guests using wheelchairs, motorised scooters or other mobility assistance devices. The tour route includes a significant amount of walking and covers surfaces that can be challenging, including cobblestones, hills, inclines, declines and stairs across both venues.

Strollers and baby carriages cannot be accommodated on this tour.

We also ask that all participants be in good general health. If you have a medical condition or are not accustomed to regular exercise, we recommend consulting your doctor before booking.

If you have specific mobility concerns and are unsure whether this tour is right for you, please contact us before booking — we will always advise honestly based on your situation, and we can explore whether alternative tour options or arrangements may be more suitable.
