The ticketing experience was easy and smooth, although I did have to confirm how to get the tickets, as they were not initially showing in the app. This was answered immediately however, by headout, and I then had access to the tickets, so felt confident straight away The experience was very good, with a very knowledgeable guide for the walk about before entering Buckingham Palace. The Palace itself was excellent, and the portable audio system worked very well. The signage to follow the tour route was very clear and informative. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable event. Would recommend this.

Having done a different walking tour previously, I had a certain expectation, this tour blew it out of the water!! We hit specific spots at specific times and had such good views!! It was fast paced in places but the guide was kind enough to make sure everyone in the group kept up at all points! Absolutely brilliant, and Brendan the guide was just fantastic, I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was worth every penny!!

The rooms are incredibly beautifully designed! Our expectations were exceeded by far. The audio guide is helpful and doesn't overload the visit with unnecessary information. The service staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. Everything is perfectly organized, and with sufficient knowledge of English you are never left on your own.

Enjoy walking through the State Rooms as you witness numerous masterpieces by legendary painters like Rembrandt, Canaletto, and Rubens.

Admire the antique French and English furniture scattered throughout the palace in the Green Drawing Room and the Ballroom.

Amazing experience, the palace is stunning. The audio guide when walking around was very informative & interesting. Although I would have liked more of the detailed information on the various art works & furniture pieces.

Paperless tickets would be much better. No photos are allowed to take inside of the palace. Nothing in the back garden and you asking some photos in the next question?
