For some unknown reason we were left standing outside the gate for over 20 minutes.. adding to the 15 minutes we were asked to be there ahead of time, so felt confusion. The Warden seemed to rush through the first part of the tour because they were late. The actual ceremony was wonderful to see and great to feel a part of. The historical knowledge was condensed but was great to hear.

This is a truly amazing tour that I highly recommend. Touring the exterior of the Tower followed by a small group viewing of the Ceremony of the Keys was very informative and intimate. Note:This tour does not include viewing the inside Tower tour.

We enjoyed every minute of the after hours tour. Our Beefeater, Bruce, was fantastic. It was magical to be part of the ceremony
