Torre de Londres: VIP Acceso fuera de horario y ceremonia de las llaves
Descripción
La Torre de Londres ha cerrado sus puertas cada noche durante 700 años en la Ceremonia de las Llaves. Las entradas públicas para este ritual se agotan en cuestión de minutos, lo que hace que el acceso fuera de horario sea una de las experiencias más solicitadas de Londres, y este tour es tu única entrada. Después de que los últimos visitantes del día se vayan, tu pequeño grupo entra en la fortaleza con un Beefeater residente, una de las pocas personas que realmente viven dentro de sus muros. A la luz de la linterna, se pasa por la Puerta de los Traidores, la Torre Blanca y la Capilla Real de San Pedro ad Vincula, escuchando historias extraídas de nueve siglos de poder real, prisión e intriga. La noche se construye a la Ceremonia de las Llaves en sí. Te paras a pasos del Jefe de Guardianes Yeoman mientras desafía al centinela y el corneta toca el Último Poste en terrenos vacíos. Sin multitudes, sin cámaras durante la ceremonia, solo el ritual exactamente como se ha observado desde el siglo XIV.
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Su tour comienza fuera de la Torre de Londres, donde un amable anfitrión se reúne con su grupo para el registro de entrada. Una vez que los últimos visitantes diurnos se hayan registrado, se le guiará a las puertas para reunirse con su guía Beefeater.
Con acceso especial fuera de horario, su grupo cruza las puertas después de que hayan cerrado al público. Estas entradas raras entregan 900 años de historia de fortaleza a su grupo en casi total tranquilidad.
Párate ante la famosa puerta de agua que una vez entregó prisioneros directamente desde el Támesis a la Torre. Tu Beefeater comparte las historias de aquellos que pasaron por aquí y nunca regresaron.
La estructura más antigua e icónica dentro del complejo se eleva sobre ti mientras tu guía da vida a su historia con luz de linterna. La Torre ha servido como palacio real, prisión y fortaleza a lo largo de nueve siglos de historia Inglés.
Pasea por una de las capillas más antiguas dentro de las murallas de la Torre, el lugar de enterramiento de Ana Bolena, Tomás More y otras figuras de la historia Inglés. Your Beefeater proporciona el contexto que transforma la fachada en una historia.
Tome su lugar en la Ceremonia de las Llaves, el ritual de bloqueo nocturno que se ha desarrollado sin interrupción durante 700 años. El Jefe de Guardianes de Yeoman desafía al centinela, el corneta toca el Último Poste y la fortaleza está cerrada por la noche, exactamente como siempre ha sido.
Su recorrido concluye dentro del recinto de la Torre de Londres después de que termine la ceremonia. Te vas con el Último Post todavía haciendo eco y un lado de Londres que la mayoría de los viajeros nunca verán.

Incredible! We had so much fun with the very enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear you had such a memorable evening at the Tower of London. Experiencing the Ceremony of the Keys is truly special, and we're delighted your guide's enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience even better. We hope to welcome you back for another incredible adventure!
Excellent experience, and very enjoyable. I was very much looking forward to this, and it turned out to be a highlight. Our Yeoman Warder was Alex McDonald. He gave a great history of the tower, and explained everything with knowledge and humor. We went back 2 days later for a daytime visit and tour, and were very disappointed with that, after our Ceremony of the keys tour. You have to plan ahead to get tickets, but it was well worth it. Follow the online directions to get tickets, it’s not necessary to book through a private tour operator.
Hi Tilly, Thanks so much for the feedback! I’m glad the evening tour and the Ceremony of the Keys turned out to be such a highlight for you. Alex is brilliant, and his humor definitely makes the history stick. It really is a completely different atmosphere once the daytime crowds clear out! You also made a great point about booking early—tickets for this are incredibly tough to get, so planning ahead is essential whether people book independently or through a provider like us. Thanks again for joining us, and safe travels on your next adventure!
What a beautiful and solemn once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Key Ceremony. This has been happening every night in exactly the same way for 700 years. It begins with a background of the Tower and what roles it played in history told by a Warden of the Tower. You are then able to observe the approximately 15-20 long ceremony of locking the gates with the monarch’s keys, of course currently King Charles. Afterwards you are permitted to take pictures inside the courtyard of the Tower of London at night.
This was a magical experience being taken through the Tower of London complex after dark. Our guide was infectiously enthusiastic and a bundle of energy and information. It got a little cold so dress warm. A very memorable experience..
Hi Stefanie, Glad you enjoyed the after-dark experience! It’s definitely a different atmosphere once the sun goes down, and we're happy to hear your guide's energy kept things lively throughout the tour. Good call on the reminder to dress warm too. The Tower can get quite chilly at night! Thanks for sharing your experience and for joining us for the Ceremony of the Keys.
Great experience. Interesting and entertaining. Something you typically don’t get the opportunity to see.
Great after hours glimpse into the 700 year closing history of the Tower of London. We didn’t tour any of the buildings BUT were given who-what-where-when. A great compliment to the Opening Ceremony. Really appreciated the tour was done by retired military personnel. Our Yeoman, Foxy, was fun and made history come a-live.
It was a great tour. Very informative and interesting. Our Beefeater guide was the best. Since it was nighttime and near the water, the wind was very cold but still enjoyed the tour.
Foxy gave an intriguing and entertaining introduction to the tower’s history and the 750-year old ceremony. Highly recommend.
What an amazing experience! Barry was a fantastic guide. His love and enthusiasm for both his job and the Tower was impressive and contagious. He presented the history with wit and humor while not glossing over the more sordid parts. It was a tour good for the family.
Thank you for this outstanding review! We are thrilled that your VIP After Hours Access & Ceremony of the Keys tour was such an amazing experience. Barry is truly fantastic—his enthusiasm, wit, and humor make the history engaging for the whole family, even when discussing the more serious parts. We are delighted that you found the tour Fit For A King! We would love to welcome you back for another unique after-hours experience soon.
Amazing experience, well worth the visit Very informative and Simon was entertaining and knowledgeable
Amazing experience—that's what we love to hear! We're thrilled you found the tour well worth the visit and that Simon was both entertaining and knowledgeable.
