Itinerary

This is the London walking tour which will ensure you are in the best position possible to see the extraordinary Changing of the Guard ceremony while avoiding the crowds at the gates of Buckingham Palace. Rather than standing still for hours, we see various stages of the ceremony, including the inspection, Old Guard, New Guard, and Palaces. We even march alongside the Guards and Ceremonial Bands!

If you like a fast paced tour, with plenty of action, excitement and fun, come on this walk. In order to stay ahead of the crowds we do have to move quickly at times – at one point we will even be marching alongside the band! We will also encounter at least one flight of steps so unfortunately it is the only one of our tours which is not suitable for people with walking difficulties.

Please note we will not stand near the gates of Buckingham Palace on this tour. It is unfortunately impractical to take a group there and wait for two or more hours packed in like sardines in a can, but we can guarantee the tour will be a far more enjoyable and informative experience!

Tips:
The walking tour concludes near Buckingham Palace at around 11:15am.

Special Notes
  • We will not stand near the gates of Buckingham Palace on this tour. It is impractical to take a group there and wait for two or more hours packed in like sardines in a can, but we can guarantee the tour will be a far more enjoyable and informative experience!
  • Please bring comfortable shoes and a bottle of water with you.
  • This tour is very popular. As we limit the number of people per group to 25, it can often sell out days or weeks in advance, so book early to avoid disappointment!
  • The British Army can alter the date of the Guard Change Ceremony, and can change or cancel it at their discretion. No matter how bad the weather, the walk will still go ahead, as the final notification of ceremony cancellation will not be made by the British Army and police until after 10.30am. Although unlikely, the ceremony has been known to proceed in the rain before! If the ceremony is cancelled, you will see the Wet Change (guards marching without music).
