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.

Hello. My name is Paul’s Group. (Go on a tour with him to find out the joke.) Wow. Really appreciate how easy it was to locate our tour guides at the meeting point, which was super easy to access by tube. Paul gave a fabulously interesting, informative tour, hitting prime viewing locations with precision. Excellent morning.

David was our guide and he was terrific. We saw each stage of the guard changing and he gave us very insightful and informative commentary throughout. He made the tour fun and kept us moving to great spots along the guard route. Be prepared to walk in crowds, up and down some steps, and quickly to keep up. David made time for photo ops too and kept us safe!
