Our Full Royal Tour wasn’t quite what we expected, the first part of the tour was a small group walking tour around a number of sites, our guide Will was very good, he had great knowledge and was very witty however the second part of our tour which was to be a tour inside Buckingham Palace was a large group tour of approx 60 or more people came as a surprise to us as it doesn’t read like that on the Viator website. We didn’t end up doing this part of the tour as you probably wouldn’t be able to see anything and realistically there is no way known that you would be able to keep everyone together with this amount of people.

Our guide Ashley was phenomenal! His blending of historical information with present day interest points was engaging and educational. His in depth understanding of how the changing of the guard functioned allowed us to have a spectacular front row seat for every part of the procession. The whole experience was a once in a lifetime and Ashleys keen sense of timing and knowledge of the city set him apart from every other guide.

The walk was very informative & lively. My problem was I didn’t realize how long. A 3hr walk was in a city with so few benches! Our guide was great. The Buckingham palace tour is something I never thought I’d experience! However one of the above would have been. Rough/19,000 steps!
After a stroll through lovely Green Park, we reach Buckingham Palace - official home of the King! Your guide will tell stories of British Royal history as you admire this beautiful Palace.
On certain days you can watch the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony, and your guide will find the perfect viewing spot!
Afterward, walk along the Royal Mall.
Reaching this iconic public square, you’ll see Nelson’s Column, the stunning fountains, and famous buildings including The National Gallery.
Continue to Horse Guards Parade, on the edge of stunning St. James Park. We’ll stop to admire its famous arch and iconic clock - a great photo opportunity!
Next, your guide will lead you to nearby Whitehall. This is home to many grand buildings and monuments, as well as Downing Street where British Prime Ministers have lived and worked since 1735!
At Parliament Square, you’ll see the incredible Palace of Westminster (home to the Houses of Parliament) and the iconic Big Ben clock up close, as well as views of the London Eye and Churchill Statue.
Continue to nearby Westminster Abbey - one of London’s most beautiful buildings with over 1000 years of history. This is where British Kings and Queens are crowned!
After the walking tour, it’ll be time to explore the palace! With your ticket, enjoy a multi-language audio guide as you tour 19 magnificent state rooms filled with royal furniture and renowned art from the Royal Collection. You’ll also explore the beautiful royal gardens and the celebrated “Queen Victoria’s Palace” exhibition.
