Changing of the Guard Half-Day Private Walking London Tour
By Londoner
About
The Changing of the Guard has been a tradition for hundreds of years whereby the Household Regiment, the Queen’s Guards at Buckingham Palace, change shift in a fascinating show of pomp and circumstance.
This is a walking tour which ensures you to be at the best position available to see this extraordinary Changing the Guard ceremony while avoiding the crowds at the gates of Buckingham Palace. Rather than standing still for hours and hours, you witness various stages of this cultural ceremony, including the inspection, Old Guard, New Guard, Palaces, and even march alongside the Guards and Ceremonial Bands!
If you like a fast-paced tour, with plenty of action, excitement and fun, join 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.

About the operator
- Dream679300100% FUN & EngagingThis was 100% fun and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. This was a true walking tour but it was neither too fast nor too far. We actually saw more locations than I had expected & learned some fun facts as well. Our guide was a delightful young woman & she kept everyone engaged. She’d ask questions about Harry Potter and award “points” for the right answer. Both children & adults participated in that. I highly recommend this for ANY fan of Harry Potter. She covered a wide range of London information from narrow streets, the Clink, to bank vaults and origin of assorted place & people names in HP. I can not recommend this highly enough! You will not be disappointed.
- Ariana F00You have to visit!Absolutely amazing way to spend the day! I went in thinking I would spend a couple of hours there but ended up spending the better part of an afternoon there! Very fascinating and educational. Was a little bit busy - however I can completely understand why people were just as excited as I was to be there! Would absolutely recommend a visit!
- Zoe P00Don’t forget to look up!Beautiful building, amazing experience. Second time we’ve been and never disappoints. Only down side is not enough toilets, especially when it’s hot day, you have young children, and you e spent a small fortune on bottled water!
- delagioventu00DisappointingToo crowded, impossible to get through, and exhibitions quite chaotic, this was a disappointment honestly. Sort of Disney remake of a real museum.
- tinadZ6739YD00Oxford and CambridgeWe had a great experience with Tish and Kiernan. There were some bumps in the itinerary that they did their best to smooth over. They were very accommodating to everyone on board and did their best to ensure everyone had a good time. Tish is a very kind and personable tour guide, she is a delight!
- X7892HDfrancob001 grand is a joke do not buy thisA limo plus ticket passes would be less money than this, they are clearly targeting wealthy tourists. You also dont need a tour guide to walk around chessington you can not get lost
- Gingerninja6400Really overpriced in restaurant.Wonderful place to go for all ages.BUT we had a pre booked timed window in which to arrive,but museum was extremely busy, especialkyvwith people who hadnt booked. Restaurant was really overpriced £4.20 for a slice of cake small cups of coffee at £3.50. £7.20 for a small ham baguette. Childrens lunch box soon expensive and small bottles of juice £3.00. Everyone serving was foreign and mumbled. Pasta dish was a very small portion. The museum could do with a few more hands on exhibits for 3 to 5 year olds,rather than having to pick them up to engage. Dinosaurs, models of mammals and fossils fantastic. VERY rude adults both tourist and non, kept pushing in front to see things.NOT a very good role model for children growing up. NOT the museums fault though. Dont understand the timed ticket and would take a packed lunch instead if we visit again. Lots to see but again disappointed that the Geogical survey section was closed. Shop was also extortionately priced.
- Devops19900BewareBeware. This service appears to be targeting wealthy tourists. Looks like little more than a taxi to and from Chessington (park entry fees and in park costs are not included), at £1000 the price is roughly 20X what a regular taxi would cost (£30 - £40 from central London).
