Our more exclusive Changing the Guard tour.
This is the London walking tour which will ensure you are in the best position possible to see the extraordinary Changing the Guard ceremony while avoiding the crowds at the gates of Buckingham Palace.
On this small group tour, we see various stages of the ceremony, including the inspection, Old Guard, New Guard, Palaces, and even march alongside the Guards and Ceremonial Bands
Not only do we limit our group size to 12 on this tour, we also start a little earlier so that we can see the Horse Guards come on duty as well.
Please note this tour requires a good level of mobility as we will be marching alongside the guards, and there is at least one set of steps to navigate.
And we do not go to the gates of Buckingham Palace or see the section of the ceremony within the courtyard as this is far too busy and requires standing still waiting for several hours!
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Service animals allowed

Our tour was amazing and engaging. Very informative for both my wife and I along with our kids. Our guide Paul was the absolute best. I would highly recommend Paul. He has a true passion and his genuine love of country shines through while being respectful to all those in the tour.
