Discover the secrets of London’s most famous 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.
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 1,000-year history. Learn about its role as royal palace, prison, armory, and execution site, as well as the infamous figures who once walked its halls.
Then, step inside ahead of regular visitors to witness the Opening Ceremony, a time-honored tradition performed by the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters), as they officially unlock the gates for the day. It’s a moment few get to see, steeped in centuries-old ritual and military precision.
With the gates open, you’ll head straight to the Crown Jewels—glittering symbols of the British monarchy. Thanks to early entry, you’ll enjoy a quiet, almost private viewing of this dazzling collection before the crowds arrive.
Your visit includes full access to the Tower of London, where you can explore at your own pace using a dedicated audio guided app. Discover highlights such as the White Tower, Bloody Tower, Tower Green, the Fusilier Museum and more, all brought to life with engaging stories, historical insight and hidden details available directly on your phone.
