Our travel guide was a very charming eloquent Lady, who explained everything and told many little secrets of the city. The bus driver was also an expert, while it was not easy to get along all the closures because of the London Marathon...

Firstly, for the price of the tour, I thought that we would have access to see inside the palace. Second, with so many people there is very little visibility to see the changing of the guard and take even a video. In general it did not meet my expectations.

A royal tour of London
Meet your tour guide and set off on a panoramic drive through the capital. Along the way, pass by London's most iconic sights, from Westminster Abbey and Big Ben to St Paul's Cathedral and much, much more! Disembark at Buckingham Palace to watch a centuries-old British ceremony that is an essential London experience.
Historic British traditions
The Changing of the Guard ceremony marks the official shift change of the Household Regiment - the King’s guards stationed at Buckingham Palace. Watch in awe as the New Guard marches in to assume responsibility for protecting the Palace. Dressed in their scarlet suits and bearskin hats, these guards exemplify British pomp and ceremony in a showing that absolutely can’t be missed. After, you can upgrade your tickets and choose to go on a Thames River cruise, or enjoy afternoon tea at the Rubens, which overlooks Buckingham Palace.
