Witness the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace
Your tour begins at the entrance to Buckingham Palace, where King Charles' Foot Guard will march to the palace alongside a military band, all dressed in snazzy red outfits and bearskin hats. This iconic Changing of the Guard ceremony has been carried out in much the same way since 1660, and you can see history and tradition come to life in a quintessentially British way! Your guide will navigate you to a prime viewing spot, so you can have unobstructed and up-close views of the ceremony.
Gain entry to Buckingham Palace with a multimedia guide
Once the Changing of the Guard ceremony is over, you can step inside the golden gates of the palace and wander through the official residence. Open to visitors for only two months in a year, any chance to visit the Palace is a rare opportunity indeed. With these tickets, your entrance is pre-booked and access is guaranteed. Since admission has been arranged in advance, you can spend more time appreciating the interiors of the Palace. Learn captivating facts and anecdotes about the history of the Palace and the British Monarchy. Get a glimpse into the lives of royalty as you walk through the royal State Rooms, where the royal family holds their many events and receptions, as well as the 47-metre-long Picture Gallery that houses the Royal collection. Ideal for lovers of history and art, this tour will give you the complete Royal British experience! You can even skip the Changing of the Guard ceremony and instead opt for a ticket upgrade that'll allow you to explore the stunning St. James's Park. Take a walk surrounded by trees and the pond while learning about the hunting escapades of King Henry VIII.
Don't miss Buckingham Palace's awe-inspiring Summer Opening exhibition featuring King Charles III and Queen Camilla's coronation outfits, including King George VI's 1937 Robe of Estate.
