Enjoy a VIP guided tour of the Tower of London and access the site after closure.
You'll start your night tour by exploring the exterior grounds accompanied by a Yeoman Warder guide who will tell you about the lions and elephants that once lived in the tower. He will also explain to you why the Crown Jewels are kept here.
You will then stop outside the White Tower, where you'll learn about the history of this castle and its armoury collection. Furthermore, you will continue towards Traitor's Gate and hear the stories of the prisoners who crossed this gate to reach the Execution Block. Finally, you'll witness the Ceremony of the Keys, the oldest military ceremony in the world. This is a ritual that has been performed for over 700 years, during which you'll watch Yeoman Warders in Tudor dresses passing the keys to the Chief Warder.
Please note: This tour does not include access to the Crown Jewels or access inside the buildings. This is a tour of the Grounds only and The Ceremony of the Keys. While the tour of the grounds of the Tower of London is limited to just your group (20 max), other visitors are able to purchase Ceremony of the Keys tickets and will be admitted to the Tower to witness the ritual.
