Pre-visit familiarisation

We strongly recommend that group leaders who are bringing an education group to the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London to make a familiarisation visit first.

We can provide you with two free preliminary visit tickets subject to receipt of your completed booking form and payment.

Your pupils will then benefit from your tailor-made tour!

To book your familiarisation visit please make our Education Office aware at the time of booking.

Contact us to book or discuss your requirements:
