Experience the best of British tradition and royal history with this exceptional tour. A guided visit to the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony, paired with a self-guided exploration of Buckingham Palace, offers an unforgettable insight into the monarchy's daily rituals and regal splendour.
Start your royal experience with the Changing of the Guard, one of London’s most iconic events.

Dressed in their distinctive red uniforms and tall bearskin hats, the Guards march in time to music, making this a spectacle you won’t forget.
Your guide will ensure you have the best vantage points, helping you to avoid the crowds and explaining the significance of each part of the ceremony, including the role of the Guards, the band, and the intricate movements that make this such a spectacular tradition.
After the Changing of the Guard, take time to immerse yourself in the magnificence of Buckingham Palace with a self-guided visit to the State Rooms. This iconic residence is the official home of the British monarch and offers a unique glimpse into royal life.
Take up this invitation to get a rare glimpse into life at this nationally cherished palace as you tour the opulent State Rooms and marvel at gifts from Heads of State, spectacular furnishings, and artworks, all brought to life by the official Palace Audio Tour. Don’t forget to stop by the 16-hectare Palace Gardens where Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth often held her world-famous tea parties.
