Both the Mews and Buckingham Oalace were wonderful and not to be missed experiences. We were lucky to join the guide for the Mews. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The audio guide of the palace is great as you can go at your own pace. Booking was easy and instructions were good.Elizabeth

Everything was amazing to see and I loved how informative it was, we decided not to have a assisted tour or use the headset tour... it was nice to be able to walk around at our own pace and still could read detailed information :)Heike

Great city, full of life, people working and having fun after work. The city is magnificent, both culturally and entertainment-wise, the fashion ranges from classy to crazy, and there's nothing to look down on. It's all positive, except for the bums, which make my heart ache. I'd already been there a few years ago and I'll never tire of saying go.View original review in FrenchCharles

I was impressed by the number of carriages and cars, as well as the opportunity for people to put on a coachman's outfit and take photos next to the carriages.View original review in Portuguese
Royal transportation
The Royal Mews is deemed as one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world. During this tour, you'll get to see the royal coaches like the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, the most modern of the carriages used during King Charles III’s coronation in 2023, and the Gold State Coach, used at most coronations since that of William IV in 1821, as well as the gorgeous horses - the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays.
Experience royalty for a day
Enjoy a truly immersive experience by dressing up as a footman as you explore the livery worn by the King’s coachmen, each different as per the occasion. Step into a model of Queen Victoria's Semi-State Landau and practise your royal wave! Tack up a wooden horse with the leather harnesses that connect them to the carriages, and learn the history of the Mews from your complimentary multimedia guide. By upgrading your tickets, you can see the centuries-old Changing of the Guard ceremony and go on a small-group guided walking tour of the city of Westminster where you’ll see sights like Clarence House, St. James Palace, and The Mall.
