What you can expect

  • Start your day like a VIP with early access to the Tower of London. Meet your friendly English speaking guide outside the gates and enjoy a compelling introduction to the Tower’s one thousand year history, filled with royal drama, infamous prisoners, daring escapes, and the legends that still surround this historic fortress.

    You will then enter the Tower before regular visitors to witness the official Opening Ceremony. Led by a Beefeater and the guards, this centuries old ritual marks the unlocking of the Tower for the day and is a rare moment that few visitors ever experience.

    After the ceremony, head straight to the Crown Jewels for an early viewing. Admire the glittering crowns, scepters, and priceless diamonds while your guide shares the fascinating stories behind these powerful symbols of the British monarchy.

    With the highlights complete, continue your visit with full access to the Tower of London using our carefully designed multilingual audio guided app. Explore at your own pace as you discover famous sites such as the White Tower, the Bloody Tower, Tower Green, and the Fusilier Museum. Engaging narration, historical insight, and hidden stories bring each location to life directly on your phone.
