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.

We met at 945 and walked down to our first ideal spot on the Mall. We stopped at a couple of places en route and learned some interesting info about them along the way. Jeremy was a lovely guy who did indeed take us to 3 really good spots to see the guards. We got some great videos, so thank you Jeremy!
I would highly recommend booking this tour if you want to get as much out of the morning as possible, and if you like a laugh.
Also he saved us from the sneaky cheeky people trying to get into our spots lol!
