Step by Step

Thanks to this activity, you'll be able to experience the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace in a different way. Away from the crowds that come to see it, you'll have the chance to experience this traditional ceremony in a way you wouldn't imagine. On this tour, you'll have a professional guide who will accompany you on the approximately 3-hour tour to tell you all the details.

The Changing of the Guard is one of the most attractive traditional ceremonies in London for tourists and takes place at Buckingham Palace. It should be noted that the changing of the guard takes place every other day, except in summer when it is every day, and starts at 10.45am, with the actual changing of the guard at 11am.

But all this is weather permitting, which also affects the activity. That is to say, if the weather conditions are not good, this tour will be changed and participants will only see the parade of the guard of the horses.

In addition to the Changing of the Guard, you will be able to take the bus tour to see the surroundings of Buckingham Palace, such as St James Park, St James's Palace and Wellington Barracks, as well as Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and much more.

    St James's Palace is where the changing of the guard starts and we didn't know that. We were able to see both and enjoyed it very much.

    Buckingham is amazing! The whole history behind this great palace is mind-blowing. We were lucky to have great weather and the pictures we took looked like postcard pictures.
