This a unique tour. Being there with so few people and in the evening dark make this a special experience. The personal insights and knowledge of our tour guide Beefeater Gary was outstanding. Viewing the tradition of the key ceremony was like stepping back in time.

This was the best travel experience of our visit to London! Our Beefeater (Barry) was informative and pleasant to talk with. He shared so much amazing history and his love for his job came through loud and clear. Seeing the Tower of London at night was stimulating; it was like walking on a movie set.

Experiencia muy única e interesante en la Torre. Grupo más reducido. Verla fuera de horario te hace sentir realmente la atmósfera histórica del lugar.

Incredible tour! We visited the Tower of London during the day to see inside the towers and then came at night on this tour and it was a completely different experience! Barry, our Beefeater was knowledgeable and truly loved his job. You could tell he enjoyed sharing all his insider information and historical knowledge of the tower. Definitely worth it!!
