Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tower of London Express Experience with reserved entry?

LetzGo City Tours’ Tower of London Express Experience combines a short expert-led introduction outside the Tower with reserved entry tickets. Your guide meets you near Tower Hill and spends around 20 minutes walking you around the exterior of the fortress, sharing the essential history, royal stories, executions, and key landmarks before escorting you to the entry queue. Once inside, you are free to explore independently at your own pace.

Does the Tower of London Express tour include the Crown Jewels?

Yes. Reserved entry to the Tower of London and access to the Crown Jewels are included. After your guide’s introductory walking experience outside the Tower, you’ll enter independently and can head directly to the Jewel House to see the Imperial State Crown, the Sovereign’s Orb, and the Coronation Regalia used in British coronations for centuries.

How long does the Tower of London Express tour last, and is it worth the reserved entry?

The guided portion of LetzGo City Tours’ Express Experience lasts approximately 20 minutes outside the Tower of London, after which guests enter independently using reserved entry tickets. Most visitors spend an additional 90 minutes to two hours exploring the site. Reserved entry is particularly valuable during peak travel periods, when standard entry queues can become extremely long, helping guests maximise their time inside one of London’s most visited landmarks.

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.
