The most fun 2 hour tour in London. Watch the Changing of the Guard with an experienced and acclaimed guide, where you'll be taken to the best places to see the ceremony. Along the way you'll see palaces, royal parks, royal residences and even have an opportunity to march alongside the guards. The walk is interesting for adults, fun for kids, and will almost certainly be the highlight of your stay in London.

Please note that you will not see the section of the ceremony on the courtyard of Buckingham Palace, but rather the other highlights of the ceremony.

We are SO GLAD we decided to book this tour! I chose it based on the fact that the official changing of the guards website recommended it and that we knew we did NOT want to wait for hours in front of Buckingham Palace to just get a glimpse of the end of the changing of the guards. This tour was beyond perfect to showcase different parts of the changing of the guards and multiple spots, seeing the band and marching alongside with up close views. It helped we went in February which isn’t peak season, but WOW. Far beyond what we expected. Rachel our tour guide was phenomenal. She was energetic and just overall lovely but what we loved most is she provided the perfect amount of information throughout the tour. It was an excellent balance of learning new and pertinent information without feeling overwhelmed and she clearly has this tour down to a science because we showed up at all the right spots at all the right times! Would absolutely recommend booking this to anyone going. I wish we could upload videos to show just how close we were!
More sights and locations than I imagined

Our guide was Joe, an ex cabbie who had a wealth of knowledge to share and a few bad jokes. We were guided to prime viewing spots to see the guards, not only at Buckingham Palace, but also St James', the barracks and Clarence House. Each location was accompanied by facts about the Changing of the Guard, the Regiments and London history. We have seen the Palace guards on our own before, but this tour showed there was so much more to see that we wouldn't have seen on our own, and insider knowledge of where to stand meant that we were in touching distance of the parade. Thoroughly recommend.
It was a great walking...

Very difficult to find our group since there were many tours lined up at the same time. We checked with many guides, however unfortunately we could not find the walking tour so missed out on the event. Disappointing!
Great tour & guide!

Our guide Angie was great, she gave us a lot of interesting stories behind the places we saw. She also spent extra time with the group, and had all the best places for us to stand. Would definitely recommend. Much better and more fun than trying to see it ourselves without any guide.
So. Many. Crowds. But great tour.

Great to see different elements of the ceremony. Crowds Christmas week are intense, though. Uncomfortably so at times. But Joe did a great job maneuvering our group through the chaos and sharing history along the way.
