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-honored tradition is outside Buckingham Palace.


- Limited groups of 20 people or fewer means you won’t feel lost in the crowds

- Experience a quintessential London tradition: the Changing of the Guard

- Your expert guide will be there to help you make the most of your experience, sharing enriching stories and making sure you are in the right spot at the right time for the best views

- Explore the Mall, St. James’s Park, Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Palace/Horse Guards Parade, all of which are iconic locations in London and really important to England’s royal history


These spectators’ enthusiasm quickly turns to disappointment when they realize 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.


Your guide is an expert on the history of this fascinating ceremony and their knowledge will give you invaluable insight into every detail of this British spectacle. With your headset allowing you to easily follow your guide’s entertaining commentary, you can fully take in the splendor parading past you. Marvel at the precision with which the Queen’s Foot Guards march to Buckingham Palace, clad in their iconic red tunics and bearskin hats, or admire the gleaming coats of the Household Cavalry’s horses as they emerge at Horse Guard’s Parade.


Others

On occasional Sundays the changing of the guards may be rescheduled to early morning, meaning that we will not be able to see it.

Please note that the changing of the guard schedule may change and on different dates we will see either footguards or horse guards.

The Changing of the Guard is subject to changes in date, time and cancellation at the discretion of British authorities. Cancellation due to bad weather is not announced before the morning of the ceremony. When this occurs, you will still see a ‘wet change’ during which the guards march but without the usual music or parade
