Lots of tourists visit the Tower of London during their holiday, but how many go home boosting of a private audience with a Beefeater?
Photo: viator.comAfter meeting your expert guide early in the morning he'll take you straight inside the World Heritage Site with a skip-the-line ticket, and then introduce you to one of the world-famous Beefeaters.
Private audience with a Beefeater
Photo: viator.comYeoman Warders have been guarding the Tower of London for over five centuries and legend says that 'Beefeaters' was a derogatory nickname from the days when the King couldn't afford to pay them. As wages he let them eat some meat from the kitchens and the starving locals didn't like that very much, and started hissing "beef eaters!" at them every time they passed by.
During your private meet and greet you'll hear more of these incredible stories, have time to ask some questions of your own, and take a few souvenir photos for your album.
Guided tour of the Tower of London
Photo: londondrum.comYour guide will then take over and lead you round all the highlights including the castle battlements, the famous raven cages, the White Tower with its magnificent exhibition of armour and armaments, and Tower Green where three Queen's of England were executed by Henry VIII.
Photo: londondrum.comThe tour will end with a visit to the spectacular Crown Jewels in Waterloo Barracks, housing a priceless collection of Coronation Regalia worn by Kings and Queens since 1661.
