    Ticketing was easy and our guide Sion was fabulous! Nice tour around the palace area first with Sion and then went thru the state rooms as advertised with an audio headset which was well done!

    Easy booking via web page. But bad organising at the spot. Namely on the spot there were no directions where Gate A is and it took us some time in the rain to find it. After we had changed web booking ticket for official ticket at Gate A, we had to move again to the quee in Gate C where the entrance was.

    Too much historical background from the tour guide in which, some aren't really interesting to foreigners. Would prefer more time either on watching guards changing or touring the state rooms.

    I don't speak English and that's why it was difficult for me with tickets. I bought them online, but I didn't know that I had to go to the ticket office at the place of the tour. I thought an electronic ticket would be enough.
  • A stately affair

    Enjoy special timed entry to the Palace, and with your personal audio guide in 9 languages, explore the lavish rooms at your will. See the 19 State Rooms that are used by the members of the royal family themselves. Be dazzled by the 47-metre-long Picture Gallery and look at some of the most spectacular paintings in the Royal Collection. Learn about the members of the Royal Family who have lived in the Palace at one point or the other from your historical audio commentary. Gain valuable insights and information about Buckingham Palace as you stroll the halls and discover the secrets of the palace.

    An enhanced royal experience

    Upgrade your tickets for a small-group tour of the Changing of the Guards ceremony or go on a walking tour of Westminster. Your experience starts with a walking tour which begins near Buckingham Palace itself, where you will be met by your guide who will help you get acquainted with the Royal neighborhood. Make your way past St. James Palace and follow this up with a lovely stroll through St James Park, which once held the Royal Zoo. You can then walk up the Mall, which resembles a red carpet leading up to the palace, and admire Clarence House. With the Changing of the Guards ticket, you can either watch the Foot Guards or the Horse Guards replace the Old Guards in a 45-min ceremonious event.
