The most fun 1.5-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.

Sundays - As of April 2025 the army is trialing a slight variation of the usual ceremony on Sundays. It involves the same number of guard movements and locations but is referred to as a Parade rather than a Change. There is currently no indication of how long this trial will go on for.

    Best Changing of the Guard Walking Tour ever. Angie our walking tour guide, was phenomenal. She kept a good pace, was full of lots of interesting facts for the landmarks that we passed along the way and was instrumental in finding us the perfect spot to see the actual changing of the guard. We would have been lost among the crowds of people if we did not book with this tour.

    Wonderful tour with Angie! She navigated the crowds around Buckingham getting the best viewing areas, gave very detailed overview at every stop, and was very pleasant overall. We very much enjoyed this tour and look forward to another!
