I loved the tour and some of the predesignated places we had on our tour. The staterooms were amazing. My tour guide was good but made disparaging comments about LA and California during the tour. My fiance and I are from San Diego and found this offensive, unrelated to the tour in London and biased. She knows nothing of where our political attitudes lie and obviously knows nothing about California. I hope in her future tours she will remain more detached from her personal feelings and opinions and stay on the focus of the tour in London.

What happened is that nowhere did it say that it was in English, and we spoke Spanish, so we did not understand anything of what the guide said, until we entered the palace and they gave us the palace guide with options in Spanish.

Going to Buckingham Palace has been a dream of mine since 1981 when I saw the Royal Wedding. It was everything I imagined and more! I couldn't recommend it enough. It made our trip to London complete.

This was a very great experience with my family. We have seen in photos and videos and now seeing it real. It was amazing to see where the monarchy lives and runs Great Britain. There were many beautiful paintings reflecting the history of England.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and amusing. The pace was very frenetic though.

Learn more about England’s monarchy and its grand history on this guided tour through Buckingham Palace. Included in these tickets are a chance to witness the famous Changing of the Royal Guard, and a special timed entry to Buckingham Palace.

Witness the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace

Your tour begins at the entrance to Buckingham Palace, where King Charles' Foot Guard will march to the palace alongside a military band, all dressed in snazzy red outfits and bearskin hats. This iconic Changing of the Guard ceremony has been carried out in much the same way since 1660, and you can see history and tradition come to life in a quintessentially British way! Your guide will navigate you to a prime viewing spot, so you can have unobstructed and up-close views of the ceremony.

Gain Entry to the Buckingham Palace with Multimedia Guide

Once the Changing of the Guard ceremony is over, you can step inside the golden gates of the palace and wander through the official residence. Open to visitors for only two months in a year, any chance to visit the Palace is a rare opportunity indeed. With these tickets, your entrance is pre-booked and access is guaranteed. Since admission has been arranged in advance, you can spend more time appreciating the interiors of the Palace. Visit each room with your guide to learn captivating facts and anecdotes about the history of the Palace and the British Monarchy. Get a glimpse into the lives of royalty as you walk through the royal State Rooms, where the royal family holds their many events and receptions, as well as the 47 metre-long Picture Gallery that houses the Royal collection. Ideal for lovers of history and art, this tour will give you the complete Royal British experience!

Don't miss Buckingham Palace's awe-inspiring Summer Opening exhibition featuring King Charles III and Queen Camilla's coronation outfits, including King George VI's 1937 Robe of Estate.
