Great event

Wow! What a great start to seeing the tower. We loved seeing the ceremony of the keys and being among the first to view the Crown Jewels that day meant we could get a good look or just shuffle past! The rest of the tower activities were able to be undertaken while it was still relatively quiet too! The ravens were engaging and the staff all around the tower were lovely and helpful. It’s the best way to see the tower.

Flora our guide was amazing!!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting history and stories about the Tower. The opening ceremony was a real highlight. It was fascinating to see a ceremony that has been part of the Tower’s daily routine for so long. The early access to the Crown Jewels was definitely worth the money. Being able to see them before the crowds arrived made such a difference and meant we could really take our time enjoying this incredible collection. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Tower of London. It was a fantastic experience and a great way to start the day.


Highlights

Enter the Tower of London before general visitors and watch the centuries-old opening ceremony as the Beefeaters (Yeoman Warders) unlock the gates for the day. An English-speaking guide gives a short introduction to the Tower's thousand-year history as a royal palace, prison, armory and place of execution. Once the gates open, see the Crown Jewels before the crowds arrive. Afterwards, explore the White Tower, the Bloody Tower and more at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide app.


Program

Watch the Beefeaters' opening ceremony
before general visitors

Meet your guide in front of the Tower of London ticket office. Outside the Tower, your English-speaking guide briefly tells the story of its thousand-year history as a royal palace, prison, armory and place of execution, and of the notorious figures who once walked here.

Then enter before general visitors to watch the opening ceremony, a centuries-old ritual in which the Yeoman Warders, also known as Beefeaters, officially open the gates for the day.

See the Crown Jewels before the crowds

Once the gates open, head straight to the Jewel House, home of the Crown Jewels, the symbol of the British monarchy. Early access lets you enjoy the collection in peace before it gets busy.

Explore the Tower freely with the audio guide app

Next, explore the entire Tower of London at your own pace with the audio guide app. Listen to narration and hidden stories on your phone at the White Tower, the Bloody Tower, Tower Green, the Fusilier Museum and more. The audio guide is available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and German.

※ Guides are not allowed to accompany you inside the Jewel House and the White Tower.
