Easy booking via web page. But bad organising at the spot. Namely on the spot there were no directions where Gate A is and it took us some time in the rain to find it. After we had changed web booking ticket for official ticket at Gate A, we had to move again to the quee in Gate C where the entrance was.

I don't speak English and that's why it was difficult for me with tickets. I bought them online, but I didn't know that I had to go to the ticket office at the place of the tour. I thought an electronic ticket would be enough.

It was quite easy to redeem our tickets and we loved viewing the staterooms at the palace. The ticketing staff outside the palace were very friendly and helpful. Great experience.

Ticketing went quite easily. The day we saw the palace was okay but the guide never announced that we wouldn't see Changing of the Guards. It was also quite a long walk around in circles to get to our entry point.

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. Find out how the formerly known “Buckingham House” transformed into the royal palace we know it to be today. End the tour by taking a stroll along the south side of the Palace Garden. The serenity and peaceful surroundings of the Garden will only heighten the views of the palace from this stunning viewpoint.
