Description

Unlock the secrets of London’s most iconic landmark with VIP early access to the Tower of London. Witness the historic Opening Ceremony with a Beefeater and see the Crown Jewels before the crowds arrive.

Your experience begins outside the Tower, where a passionate English speaking guide sets the scene with a brief yet captivating introduction to the Tower’s one thousand year history. Discover its remarkable past as a royal palace, prison, armory, and execution site, along with the infamous figures who once walked its walls.

You will then step inside ahead of regular visitors to witness the Opening Ceremony, a centuries old tradition performed by the Yeoman Warders, also known as Beefeaters, as they officially unlock the gates for the day. This rare and unforgettable moment is rich in ritual, heritage, and military precision.

Once the gates are open, you will head directly to the Crown Jewels, glittering symbols of the British monarchy. Thanks to early entry, you will enjoy a calmer viewing experience of this extraordinary collection before the main crowds arrive.

Your visit continues with full access to the Tower of London and our carefully designed audio guided app, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Discover highlights such as the White Tower, the Bloody Tower, Tower Green, and the Fusilier Museum, all brought to life through engaging narration, historical insight, and fascinating hidden stories available directly on your phone.
