It was amazing to be inside such an iconic building where the Royal family have lived for so long, to walk in the same places as them and all the other world famous people who have visited the palace for different reasons. We didn't have a personal guided tour, but used the headset which was very easy to use and easy to listen to. We saw more rooms than I had imagined beforehand - 13 different locations - and were not rushed to leave after our allotted time. To actually stand so close to the two thrones was awesome. The prices charged in the shop and Tearoom, however, were eye watering! Two cardboard cups of tea and a raspberry tart (it was delicious though) cost just a fraction less than our dinner the night before!!

From arriving and receiving the tickets the process was seamless and very well organised. The headsets were great and everyone moved at their own pace and could experience the rooms with ease. There was also a family option which meant the children were engaged looking for the items in the room and checking them off. I personally would have liked the option to learn about all of the paintings or objects which were limited to a few per room but I understand not everyone would enjoy that. The gardens were lovely and lots of options for ice cream or food at the end with a gift shop too. A super experience and would recommend

Only a small part of the palace was included in the tour, but I expected that. What was included, was spectacular. The ticket arrangements were dire. It wasn't at all clear where to go. The instructions say "Redemption Point Buckingham Palace Ticket Office on Buckingham Palace Road /Ticket Office at the entrance of The King’s Gallery" It isn't at the entrance to the King's Gallery at all. The directions offered drop the pin on the map in the centre of Buckingham Palace! (See attached image)I know where the palace is, just not where to validate my tickets.

    Having done a different walking tour previously, I had a certain expectation, this tour blew it out of the water!! We hit specific spots at specific times and had such good views!! It was fast paced in places but the guide was kind enough to make sure everyone in the group kept up at all points! Absolutely brilliant, and Brendan the guide was just fantastic, I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was worth every penny!!

  • 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.
