Q:
Hi, I had a question about your visit to the Tower of London. You mentioned going on a beefeater tour. Did you Pay for that in addition to your ticket price or is it just something you get in line for once you are inside?
A:
Hello, the beefeater tour is free and included with the ticket. I think there is a more thorough tour where you do pay extra. There’s a small queue as you enter the gate.
Q:
Can my grandson use his blue Peter badge accompanied by us
A:
When we were there last the children in front of us in the queue had come in on blue Peter badges. I think they had to be with a paying adult as the only stipulation.
