We enjoyed the opening ceremony and early access to the Jewels. The Beefeater was very entertaining and informative, we loved the pomp and circumstance of the opening ceremony. Our guide was very informative and answered all our questions. Be aware while the tour itself is about 4 hours, you can easily spend an entire day at the Tower of London. This is a must do tour when visiting London.
