When we arrived , originally they couldn't find my booking and said Headout regularly overbook and that I could just have a refund if they couldn't resolve it which wasn't the point when I had booked it well in advance. Luckily the staff were able to find the booking eventually. The Barney the beefeater was brilliant !! and so funny !! Couldn't sing his praises enough however would have like it to have lasted more than 45 mins. The jewels were lovely to visit. And the grounds were beautifully kept!

Our tour had only 4 tourist and as such, small as it was, the key master "forgive the name" gave us and our guide a very special tour. We were give audience to the offices of the key master and his officers. And a very private and informed tour of the chapel. He was very nice and informed

The ticketing experience was excellent and I appreciate the convenience and ease of it all. My only slight complaint is that I think the tour is misnamed. I went into it thinking that we would have a Beefeater as our tour guide throughout when in fact he was with us for the first 5-10 minutes only during the key opening ceremony. (He was fantastic and we loved that part of the experience). But then he was gone and we had a regular tour guide (who was lovely and knowledgeable but not a Beefeater)

Very easy to find our guide - who was amazing. Interesting, informative and kept our interest. The Beefeater was also very informative and happy to pose with photo of us after. As it was early in day , no real queue or overcrowding in the Crown Jewels display area. Highly recommend doing this experience.

Early entry to Tower before crowd. Guide Natalie gave a great introduction with good humor. Y Oman Warder was also very entertaining and informative-- stayed until all questions were answered.

An exclusive tour without the crowds

Begin your journey into the annals of British history with an exclusive early morning tour of the Tower of London, evading the throngs of the day, with skip-the-line tickets. Accompanied by an expert English-speaking guide, explore every nook and cranny of the tower, like the Medieval Palace and the Mint Exhibition. This tour grants you exclusive access to a Yeoman Warder, colloquially known as a Beefeater, known to be the Royal Guards of the tower since Tudor times. Dive deep into the tales of this fortress, which once played host to a dark blend of royal refuge, prison, and execution site. Don't forget to marvel at the most guarded treasure of the tower, the Crown Jewels, an awe-inspiring assembly of regal artifacts spanning 600 years.

A historic past that's both dark and thrilling

The Tower has much to offer, so take your time exploring every nook and cranny. Visit the Bloody Tower where 12-year-old Edward V and his younger brother, Richard were murdered, giving it its gruesome name. The stunning architectural beauty of St. John's Chapel, located inside the White Tower will amaze you. Stop to smell the beautiful wildflowers located all around the Tower Moat. Don't forget to check out the exhibitions, like the Torture at the Tower exhibition where you'll get to see the spine-chilling ways in which prisoners were tortured.
