Experience the Tower of London with early entrance and an exclusive private audience with one of its legendary Yeoman Warders, better known as Beefeaters. Begin with an introduction to this remarkable fortress and its nearly 1,000 years of royal history. Discover how the Tower has served as a palace, prison, fortress, treasury and home of the Crown Jewels before entering with your group.

Inside, meet one of the Tower's famous Beefeaters for a private audience. Hear fascinating stories about the history, traditions and responsibilities of the Yeoman Warders, ask questions and enjoy the opportunity to take photographs during this special encounter. After the hosted experience, stay inside the Tower and explore independently at your own pace. Your early-morning visit allows you to reach the Jewel House and admire the spectacular Crown Jewels before the Tower becomes busier. Continue discovering the fortress's extraordinary history at Tower Green, explore the famous White Tower and Bloody Tower, and visit the medieval walls, courtyards, exhibitions and other public areas open on the day.

Combining early entrance, expert introduction, a private Beefeater encounter and flexible time to explore, this experience offers a more personal way to discover one of London's most iconic landmarks.
