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.

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.
