Buckingham Palace entry and Changing the Guard. Small group Tour
Overview
For a very limited period of the year, Buckingham Palace opens its doors to visitors. Discover the grandeur, marvel at the majesty and soak up the sumptuous interiors of the Royal Residence of King Charles III. We'll navigate the crowds and sort out all the ticketing and logistics so that you can really enjoy the moment.
Before entering Buckingham Palace, your guide will provide you with a unique insight into the Change of the Guard ceremony. At Fun London Tours we have been providing the most highly acclaimed Change of the Guard tour since 2013.
But as part of a small group (maximum 20 people), the experience of the ceremony will be even more personal, satisfying, and bespoke than you will find within a larger group.
Tickets to both this tour and Buckingham Palace sell out fast, so make your booking as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment!
Note - our guides do not accompany you inside Buckingham Palace, and on a rainy day the ceremony may be scaled down.
