Description
Early Entry Tower of London Tour with Opening Ceremony Unlock the secrets of one of London’s most iconic landmarks before the gates open to the public.
This exclusive early access experience offers a rare opportunity to witness the Tower of London’s historic Opening Ceremony, see the Crown Jewels without the crowds, and enjoy expert storytelling paired with the flexibility of our guided app, offered in several languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German.
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.
After this, your time is your own. With full access to the Tower and our carefully crafted audio-guided app, explore at your own pace.
Visit the White Tower, the Bloody Tower, Tower Green, the Fusilier Museum, and more, all brought to life with engaging narration, historical context, and secret stories available right from your phone.
Whether you’re a history buff or a first-time visitor, this VIP experience offers the unique opportunity to access the Tower of London before it opens to the general public and the chance to witness the Opening Ceremony with a Beefeater!

Just brilliant. Finishing in Beefeater was the perfect ending. The pre booking support answered all our questions clearly. We would book again.

Ótimo atendimento
Entregou tudo o que prometia e mais um pouco. Não é o mais barato, mas se justifica. O voo atrasou e o motorista esperou mesmo assim, sem cobrar a mais. Conhecer um pouco de Rápido no caminho foi um plus. A única ressalva: o grupo era maior do que imaginávamos. Se voltarmos a Londres, repetimos.

Cumple lo que promete
Buena elección si es tu primera vez en Londres. Nos atendieron por WhatsApp para una duda y respondieron en minutos. La confirmación tardó un día en llegar y nos puso nerviosos.

Salimos encantados. Lo de ceremonia de inauguración de la Torre de Londres a cargo de los Beefeaters estuvo muy bien pensado. El grupo no era enorme, lo que hizo todo más cómodo. Si están por Londres, no se lo pierdan.

Increíble día
Muy contentos con la elección. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. Torre fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. Nuestro guía tenía un manejo del grupo impecable, nadie quedó atrás.
