See British tradition come to life on this fully-guided Changing of the Guard walking tour that ensures you get the very best views of this spectacular ceremony! Don’t make the same mistake that so many visitors often – and understandably – make, believing the prime vantage point from where to experience this time-honoured tradition is outside Buckingham Palace.
These spectators’ enthusiasm quickly turns to disappointment when they realise that they have waited for hours only to see the very end of this unique performance, their view often blocked by the throngs of people crowding around them. Instead, follow your guide on a dynamic journey that takes in the entire Changing of the Guard from beginning to end as they expertly navigate the crowds to take you to the best – and most photographable – viewpoints.

Changing of the Guard
Your regal tour begins at the Duke of York Column, located in St. James’, where you’ll greet your guide, don a personal headset, and receive a historical overview of the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Many tourists make the mistake of viewing the ceremony outside of Buckingham Palace. However on this tour, handpicked vantage points ensure you get the best views of the royal tradition while listening to commentary that explains each part of the performance. Marvel at the shimmering coats of the household cavalry as their riders control the horses with expert precision; capture photographs of the iconic red and black attire of the King’s foot soldiers; and, move quickly between vantage points in a small group of only 15 people.

This was an enjoyable experience. Our guide, Flora, was very knowledgeable and she really seemed to enjoy sharing her insights. We moved from place to place, finding good locations to observe, and that was helpful.

I think this is a fine tour if you are interested in hearing little stories and some history, but definitely think you can do this on your own. If you're more of an independent traveler and can get around on your own, I think this is something you can skip. Run around to the spots on your own and find yourself a decent area to watch on your own. I don't think that the exclusive viewpoints this advertises is any better than what you can do on your own. I don't see the huge advantage, but for what the cost is, I'm not too disappointed in the time. I'd rather get closer to the gates and move around.
