The tour was great and very interesting especially with the headset and tablet. The only negative aspect being that the explanations and story telling in the tablet were only acustic (via headphones) My husband is death so it would have been helpful and customer friendly for people with hearing dissabilities to be able to read via subtitles with the same language choices as with the headphones. In todays advancing digital/ AI technologies this should not be complicated to implement. There were also no written tour descriptions in german only in english. I strongly recommend to add these subtitles to the tour as there are many more death people in this world. Thanking you in advance to take up this issue, Best regards Karin Schmidt

Visiting Buckingham Palace was an unforgettable experience. The palace is absolutely stunning, with beautiful architecture, and a fascinating history. The State Rooms were magnificent, and every room was filled with incredible artwork and royal treasures. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and well organised, making the visit enjoyable from start to finish. The audio guide was informative and easy to follow, providing interesting insights into the history of the British Royal Family. Everything was well managed, and despite the number of visitors, it never felt overcrowded. I would highly recommend Buckingham Palace to anyone visiting London. It is a truly iconic attraction and well worth the visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Buckingham Palace. The whole place is very well secured, so you always feel safe. At the entrance, we picked up the free audio guides, which led us through every room and made the experience even more enjoyable (I highly recommend getting one). What will stay with me the most is the realization that you’re walking on the same floors and looking at the same things that the Queen, the King, and so many other famous people have seen before you. It truly made the visit feel special and unforgettable. Unfortunately you can't take any pictures with your phone.

The tour was superb the staff from the moment we arrived were friendly, courteous, enthusiastic, proud to be helping us and proud to be working at the palace. Visiting inside the palace state rooms was an immense pleasure and seeing where our Royal Family walk/work it was truly an honour. The Art work the designs everything was fabulous if Crown would open more rooms again I will be back for sure. Proud to be British and have our Royal Family (warts and all) what family does not have any? Long may they reign over us 💞

Everything went very smoothly: we printed our tickets at the ticket office without any problems, and then they let us in 10 minutes before our reservation time. We just had to wait a little while to go through the bag check: you can bring a small backpack or bag, but it must be carried on your shoulder. The rooms were beautiful—it’s just a shame it got a little hot at times. After the tour, you reach the exit via a lovely walk in the shade through the palace gardens. Definitely recommended!

Gain access to the State Rooms of the Buckingham Palace. Wander through the Throne Room, the Ballroom, and the White Drawing Rooms, each room more intricately decorated than the previous.

Plug in your audio multimedia guide and pick up historical facts about the rooms and the Palace you didn’t know about before.

Take a lavish walk through the south side of the Palace Garden and admire stunning views of the palace from a unique vantage point.

Elevate your experience by securing an upgraded ticket to witness the renowned Changing of the Guard ceremony along with an English-guided tour!

What a spectacular and exquisite place to visit. Loved walking in the path where Queens and kings have walked a Royal children have played. Could hear their giggles running up and down that magnificent staircase. Will be a memory I will hold forever.

It was really lovely and impressive. It was also nice to be led outside through the beautiful garden. The visit was well worth it for us.

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.

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.
