What you can expect
See the Changing of the Guard ceremony clearly from the best vantage point during this guided walking tour in London. Experience a quintessential London tradition with a local guide leading the way.
Don’t make the same mistake that many visitors so often and understandably make, believing the prime viewing point to experience this time-honoured tradition is from outside of Buckingham Palace.
Spectators' enthusiasm quickly turns to disappointment when they realise, after waiting for hours, only to see the end of this unique performance, their view is often blocked by a throng of crowds.
Instead, follow your guide on a dynamic journey that will take you through the entire Changing of the Guard from beginning to end. Your guide will navigate the crowds taking you to the best and most photographable viewpoints.
With an expert on the history of this ceremony, you'll be given invaluable insight and knowledge into every detail of this British spectacle.
Marvel at the precision that the King’s foot guards march to Buckingham Palace, clad in their iconic red tunics and bearskin hats.
Journey around London's royal palaces and unique parks, where captivating stories await, on this walking tour. Stroll past Buckingham Palace, St. James's Palace, Clarence House, Whitehall, and Westminster Abbey. See the Changing of the Guards (takes place on select days) and witness the Horse Guard Parade (this takes place daily).
Uncover the Secrets of St. James's Palace and more. Discover the hidden tales of St. James's Palace, once home to the notorious King Henry VIII, and the poignant setting of King Charles I's final night before his fateful execution.
Continue to Lancaster House and the world-renowned Buckingham Palace, formerly known as Buckingham House. Additionally, admire Clarence House, the official residence of His Majesty, King Charles III.
