Overview

The tour begins with early entry to the Tower of London to watch the Opening Ceremony conducted by a Beefeater. After the ceremony, visitors have time to explore the Tower independently using a multilingual self-guided app if selected. The visit includes access to the Crown Jewels in Jewel House, where the royal regalia are on display. The tour also offers free time inside the White Tower to view its Norman architecture and exhibits, followed by a walk through the Inner and Outer Wards where visitors can take photos and see the Tower's walls and surroundings. The whole experience lasts about one hour and is guided by an English-speaking expert who provides headsets when necessary to ensure clear audio during the ceremony and initial access.
