Interesting tour if you are wanting to see the royal guard exchange!

Response from Richard
Hi Paulina Thanks for the feedback, just for your information as per police advise tour guides are not allowed to use headsets or microphones unless they are directly into individual headphones or other individual listening devices. As I am independent logistically it’s virtually impossible for me to be able to carry and store all the equipment necessary for everyone in the group as numbers can vary massively. You may have seen other guides with microphones but as I said these are directly into the people on the tours headset or earphones etc which are normally stored, recharged etc by the company they work for. I have used a headset in the past and have had complaints from other guides and the police have advised that i cannot use it.
