Royal Palaces & Changing of the Guard

You arrive in London and you want to see all the major sights!

This is the perfect walk for you. Grab a coffee and meet me at Westminster station. You’ll experience the best of London —with Palaces & Pagentry... including the famous Changing of the Guard*. On this tour, you will see Buckingham Palace, St James's Park and Palace, Clarence House (home of Prince Charles), the Mall, Horseguards Parade, Whitehall, Downing Street, Houses of Parliament & Big Ben!

Our exterior walking route includes a dynamic tour guide offering some behind-the-scenes stories and facts about the people who live there. The perfect way to kick start your holiday, or a good option for those wanting to see as much as they can in a short space of time. "Meet" the Grand Old Duke of York. Take photos of the guards as they walk right by you! 

Once you complete this tour, you’ll be able to explore London in detail, or even return and visit some of these places at your leisure. Either way, you’ll have a general idea of where you are and where you want to go next! This tour runs on a regular basis or available for private hire.

*Note: The ceremony only takes place on alternate days during winter months. This tour has been scheduled to include those days. If you wish to book this tour on a non-guard day, you will still be able to see the Horse Guards execute their change. Also note: during wet weather, guards may choose not to execute the ceremony.

**Please book your space in advance.

COVID-19 Guidelines

In order to safely conduct this tour for myself and my clients, I ask that all government recommended guidelines be complied with. I will be wearing a mask and would request that clients also comply to cover mouth and nose. I will use hand sanitiser before and after the tour, and recommend that clients bring their own sanitiser. Additionally, I recommend arriving a few minutes early to go to the restroom and wash your hands if you travel via the underground. Please wear a mask while on the underground. During the tour, we will maintain a safe distance of 1m apart. In the event that you are not well on the day, please do not attend the tour. If the guide is unwell, you will be informed the morning of the tour and full refunds will be administered. It is essential that we all look after each other and keep safe during this time. Phone number must be provided at time of booking for communication options related to your tour only.
