You’re invited to the opening ceremony at the Tower of London, to be first in to explore the Crown Jewels, to join us on an adventure from the old City to the regal city of Westminster. Welcome to the Ultimate Royal London experience.

Why join the queue when you can be first into the Tower of London to enjoy the opening ceremony led by a Beefeater and see the Crown Jewels without the crowds?

We’re about to read you the story of London, a tale of two cities where you’ll be exploring from crowns to confessions.

After benefiting from early access and a special ceremony with the Beefeaters, you’ll explore the Tower that has been keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in the 11th-century.

Rejoin your guide for a relaxing boat ride on the River Thames, alighting in the royal city of Westminster to take a walking tour of the iconic landmarks that dot these streets like jewels - Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace.

    Excellent tour! Well worth the money. Seeing the unlocking ceremony at ToL is a unique experience and immediate access to the crowded crown jewel exhibit is key. Our guide Nathan was fantastic! The perfect balance of entertaining, lighthearted yet informative commentary, which was great since we were traveling with two teenagers who don’t enjoy a flat presentation. They thought the tour was great! Highly recommend this tour for both adults and teens. Communication prior to the tour was excellent as well. There was a slight change in our start time and we were notified sufficiently. Definitely book this experience for your first day as it gives you a great jump start on other things to visit more thoroughly during your stay.

    Jo was our guide. She was a very interesting and articulate. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Tower of London, and the gardens of St. James Park. The opening ceremony of the Tower was fun with a very clever Beefeater who welcomed us.
