After meeting your guide outside Tower Hill station you'll cross over the road to the Tower of London and enjoy early morning access to beat the crowds.

Watch the Yeoman Warder's Opening Ceremony

The highlight of your day will take place right at the start - watching the official opening ceremony as a military escort accompanies a Yeoman Warder whilst he opens both the Middle Tower and Byward Tower.

After grabbing a selfie with the Yeoman Warder (better known as a Beefeater) you'll be taken on a guided tour around the grounds, seeing historic sites like Traitor's Gate, the White Tower, the Bloody Tower where the two little princes were murdered, the legendary Raven cages, and Tower Green where two of Henry VIII's six queens were beheaded.

You'll also have a chance to enter Waterloo Barracks before the big crowds arrive, allowing you to marvel at the spectacular Crown Jewels worn by King Charles III at his Coronation in Westminster Abbey.

Skip the line at Tower Bridge

The second half of your tour will take you across to Tower Bridge where you'll enjoy skip-the-line access to bypass the lengthy queue.

After admiring the panoramic views from the elevated walkway, you can enter the exhibition and discover the history of the bridge through old movies and photographs, and then walk across a glass floor and watch the cars and buses thundering along the roadway below.

The glass floor inside the Tower Bridge Experience

The last past of the tour will take you into the original engine room with its coal-driven fires, so you can see how the bridge used to open and close in Victorian times.
