A unique experience, well managed by palace staff for an efficient and flexible experience that allows you to linger or move on at will. Unfortunately that stands in stark contrast to Headout's customer service. Too much automation in s poorly thought out process. In total a dozen emails and not enough space here to describe the wasted time.

Excited to walk in the footsteps of royalty and recognise some areas. The amount of people allowed to enter at once was the downfall, there were too many people around and that made the visit difficult, I couldn't see and appreciate the rooms enough.

We had a great time thank you. We enjoyed the walk grouch at our own pace, not being rushed. Beautiful rooms in excellent condition. Outside in the garden we took our time, enjoying the sunny weather, and a quick browse in the shop.

5 stars for the visit but only 1 star for staff issuing audio devices throwing them around deliberately from 8 feet away into boxes skylarking then to add insult to injury mine runs out of battery half way through the tour. Poor show

I was with my 6 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed every second, she loved that you could listen to the commentary all the way round, she kept saying wow and telling me the history that she just heard.

  • Explore a working palace

    The Buckingham Palace acts as the London residence of His Majesty the King, and one of the few working royal palaces to remain in the world today. Every summer, the doors of the palace are opened for visitors from across the globe to learn facts and discover secrets about the Palace and the State Rooms. The State Rooms have been dubbed the “heart” of Buckingham Palace and include 19 plush rooms, ornated with treasures from the Royal Collection. Some of these treasures include paintings by Canaletto, Rubens, Poussin, and Rembrandt and extravagant sculptures by Canova.

    Learn as you go

    Feel free to plug in your multimedia audio guide and walk through the decked-up rooms. Learn about the historical importance of the State Rooms and, in effect, the Palace. Find out how the formerly known “Buckingham House” transformed into the royal palace we know it to be today. End the tour by taking a stroll along the south side of the Palace Garden. The serenity and peaceful surroundings of the Garden will only heighten the views of the palace from this stunning viewpoint.
