Buckingham Palace was one of the highlights of my trip to London. The State Rooms were absolutely beautiful, and I especially loved the Throne Room and the Ballroom. The paintings, furniture, and decorations were elegant and impressive. It was also very interesting to see where so many important royal events take place. I’m very happy I had the chance to visit and would definitely recommend it.

Smooth transition exchanging the voucher for a ticket. My only criticism is we could get the tickets stamped to upgrade for a year as they were not purchased through the King's Gallery Official site. 🙁 The exhibition was fantastic.

The tour was pleasant and well organized. The ques were not long and very efficiently managed. We felt we saw a lot and enjoyed the tour. The audio was informative and helpful. Well worth the price of the ticket.

Buckingham Palace was great. The audio guide was wonderful. The self audio guide you can take your time without being hurried. The cafeteria is a great place to have tea and scones.

The tour was excellent. However, it was absolute chaos queuing to get in. Why arrange it so that everyone for a particular time slot goes in together? Why not have a steady flow of people, which would stop the staff having to shout at people/guests because they are standing on a walkway? We all felt like cattle being herded. This needs to be sorted out to show some sort of efficiency and control! Is that the way the British want to be shown?

Please be aware you must print out tickets - if you forget, you will be directed just down the road and they will print for you. You need to arrive 15 mins beforehand and queue, any earlier and you are wasting your time as they won't let you in early! Airport style security on entry. Fabulous toilets before you go in too! Free audio headsets - a must, again these are available after entry. Enjoy looking around, read everything! Gift shop on the way out.

Although it was unbearably hot to navigate the walk and all the stairs the magic and opulence made it worthwhile. It inspires a sense of patriotism and pride that we as Brits are able to share the history and elegance of a renound worldwide building. And, enjoying "tea at Buckingham Palace ".
