The experience was amazing and the headsets gave clear and interesting information. My only compaint is that the directions to the starting point of the tour were terrible. They suggested using Google Maps which put us right outside the main gate for the palace. There was no one there to direct us and it took almost half an hour for us to realize that we had to go to a gate outside the palace to gain entry. Those gates are clearly marked, but not within sight of the destination point. We used Google Maps for several other tours with other companies on our trip and always found the right location immediately.

Buckingham Palace is an amazing place, full of majesty and history. I would recommend it to anyone. The only drawback was the artificial flowers in one of the rooms...

Very easy to book and received all the relevant information via email. Only negative is that the meeting point isn't clearly explained in the email and the directions lead you to the front of the palace and not the left side where the entrance is located.

The location for the ticket redemption point is completely wrong and misleading - we walked much more than was necessary- just put the redemption point as gate A or C or whatever it should be - not map us to the palace gates having to negotiate through the huge crowds and back again! Otherwise it was fabulous to see inside the rooms - the commentary on the audio guide was childish and lacking

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.
