Buckingham Palace is definitely an iconic place to see in London, especially for its historical value and architecture. However, seeing it only from the outside and just visiting the Royal Mews, the experience was interesting but not as engaging as I had expected. The stables are nice to visit, but overall the value for money could be better for what you actually get to see. A stop worth making at least once, but personally I was expecting a bit more.

Nathan the tour guide was an expert as other tour guides took his lead to know where groups should stand to see the changing of the horse guards and the changing of the guards with the fact it was raining heavy. He was the best tour guide we had! 5 stars Nathan and the recommendation of eating at the Buckingham Arms was spot on. Ty

The throne room is where official royal photos are taken, and it is truly gorgeous. I like to think that Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine ("Kate"), who is passionate about photography, had a hand in designing the room🙂‍↕️.

The guide was excellent. prompt, humorous and educational. He did an exceptionally good job positioning us in a viewing location which allowed perfect views and avoiding a lot of walking.. Overall very well worth the time and money.

A beautifully curated exhibition of Queen Elizabeth II's wardrobe. Unfortunately very overcrowded, which I never quite understand when you have a specific time slot on your tickets. (Warning: even though Headout states on the vouchers that you only need to show them at the entrance, that unfortunately isn't true. You have to go to the ticket counter in the tent to the right of the gallery to get your tickets printed using the voucher.)

The tour of the palace was easy to follow, and the instructions and explanations were clear and understandable. I was especially impressed by the palace’s luxurious and grand atmosphere. I particularly loved the grand staircase at the entrance and the beautiful, elegant dining hall. The only downside was that photography wasn’t allowed inside, which was a little disappointing.

Was ammezing! An Unforgettable Visit! Visiting the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace was incredible from start to finish. Everything about the tour was top-tier, but the highlights for me were definitely the State Dining Room—with its magnificent, historic setup—and the stunning Blue and White Drawing Rooms, which are absolute masterpieces of gold detail and elegance. Seeing these iconic royal spaces in person exceeded all my expectations. A must-see experience in London!
