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!

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.

Buckingham Palace is always very interesting. You can tell it's a lived-in residence because the furniture is very well maintained and the areas are very clean. Just two downsides: I hoped the audio guide would share more facts about life in the palace rather than historical events, though they are all important, and unfortunately, you cannot take photos.

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?

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.

Learn as you go

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.
