Highlight for me was the walking tour outside. Jo was amazing with her knowledge and made it far more fun than I was expecting. The palace itself was lovely - not really my thing but my wife really enjoyed it.

Firstly, the combination of the walk and tour of the State rooms is a great idea. We had an excellent guide for our walk who was very informative and amusing and remembered where everyone on the walk was from. The tour of the State rooms was also excellent. The whole event was extremely well organised and good value and I would definitely recommend it.

We was with the Group City Wonders. It was an amazing day. The Tourguides were very nice and had a big knowledge. They send us three whatsapps with all the informations. The place we met there wasn't in the buckingham palace, but they send on the day it was a link by whatsapp where we find the meeting point (google maps). The tour in the buckingham palace was interesting and exciting. We learnd a lot of things from the royal family and the rooms by itself. The sad point was that we weren't allowed to take photos inside the buckingham palace. So all in all it was very great! You have to seen it!

The palace is very beautiful, but for the street tour, we would have liked a French-speaking guide or an audio guide.
