You don't really see changing of the guard!?
We saw the band and guard walk by for a picture, We lined up the barracks and watched a group march by for a total of 5-7 min then we were told we could walk over to where it really takes place and fight the crowds if we wanted??? It was 5 -6 people deep at most spots and lots if people with there children on shoulders blocking the view and actual changing of the guard by the time we got over by Buckingham palace. We definitely couldn’t see it. We booked this day after a lot of research” and planned the days of time in London to see it.. We were not LUCKY as we were told… “we were LUCKY and and told the changing is not every day”.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly but we didn't sign up for “watch the band walk by”lol! We signed on for changing of the Guard! Misleading in my opinion and think people would be happy go to the other spot early. We did see the change much better at Windsor Castle on different tour. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this tour with Evans and Evans or Viator.
