Buckingham Palace Guided Tours

Stunning opportunity to peak behind the curtains at Royal life and our rich history.

Really well delivered the headsets talk you round the splendour of the palaces state rooms. A real honour when you think it is still the Royals home.

Was an amazing experience and privilege to walk inside rooms of the palace, they are truly stunning! Finding the ticket marquees was a bit confusing and redeeming the voucher meant queuing twice but there was plenty of staff advising and directing. I would recommend using this company and visiting the state rooms

The guide we had on the walking tour portion was what made this excursion.. it's too bad they don't go thru the palace with you.. He was very informative, funny and gave us insight we wouldn't have had if we just booked tickets thru the palace site.. but people remember to tip your guide! Felt bad for him because we didn't see any other "group" on our tour tip him besides us...

It was very interesting to visit the state rooms at Buckinghmam Castle. We liked the fact that the tour included a free audio guide.

Getting tickets from ticket office easy. No QR code is needed. Enjoyed tour - bought delicious ice cream on way out but feel like marquee was pretty dull! No view of the beautiful lake and not enough benches around lake. Still worth visiting.

Everything was perfect, the visit and the service provided. Very happy to have booked this experience. I will recomend it.

Everything was very simple, I arrived at the point mentioned in the application and everything was easy and on time. The place was great! Thanks

From arriving and receiving the tickets the process was seamless and very well organised. The headsets were great and everyone moved at their own pace and could experience the rooms with ease. There was also a family option which meant the children were engaged looking for the items in the room and checking them off. I personally would have liked the option to learn about all of the paintings or objects which were limited to a few per room but I understand not everyone would enjoy that. The gardens were lovely and lots of options for ice cream or food at the end with a gift shop too. A super experience and would recommend

It was an awesome experience, walking in the same carpet king and queen would meet dignitaries. Saw fantastic paintings and marble statues from 1600's. Even Rembrandts.

I liked the rooms but shame couldn't take photos. Also wanted to see some more meaningful rooms, I.e where the Royals dine, the kitchen

Amazing experience, the palace is stunning. The audio guide when walking around was very informative & interesting. Although I would have liked more of the detailed information on the various art works & furniture pieces.

Paperless tickets would be much better. No photos are allowed to take inside of the palace. Nothing in the back garden and you asking some photos in the next question?

Our guide Angie was very knowledgeable when it came to the walking element of the tour it was very interesting. The rooms inside the Palace were awesome definitely an experience. Booking was easy and the meeting point worked well.

The ticket experience was fine. No problems. We enjoyed being able to enter the palace the most.. To be able to walk in the footsteps of the Royal Family, wow it was incredible.

The format of times written down was confusing. I actually missed the tour because I thought it was at 2:30pm when your instructions said the tour was 2 hr 30min. Seeing the times close together at a glance I misread the time at lost out, over $69 (USA) I'm very disappointed I could reschedule or the least maybe have someone call me to see if I was lost. I had done another tour and they let me even when I was late due to a late train. I would never recommend any tour through this company!

Lovely visit with a very interesting audio guide. The salons are magnificent, the works of art exceptional. The place is calm and peaceful, not crowded. We were able to take time to observe this exceptional place. The young employees were smiling and welcoming. The whole family was delighted.

Very good and well organized Small group of 12 international people Interesting tour and nice guide The palace you should love but it's very crowded all the time

Having done a different walking tour previously, I had a certain expectation, this tour blew it out of the water!! We hit specific spots at specific times and had such good views!! It was fast paced in places but the guide was kind enough to make sure everyone in the group kept up at all points! Absolutely brilliant, and Brendan the guide was just fantastic, I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was worth every penny!!

It's an experience to see the staterooms and walk through the rooms you've seen so often on TV.

Buckingham palace was great but your contact AI is awful I wanted to talk to someone my question did not fit them please ho back to using humans

They didn't let the scooter in although we could leave it at the buggy spot so 1 person couldn't come in and his ticket was waisted.This was really disappointing

Great day out, recommended. All went smoothly, no problems with getting my tickets or waiting in a queue. Buckingham Palace is amazing.

The viewing of the whole Palace was eye opening. The splendour and grandness of each and every room. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

An unforgettable experience, truly not to be missed. From start to finish, this was an outstanding and memorable visit. Purchasing tickets online was simple and efficient. We appreciated how clearly the confirmation email explained the need to print the voucher in advance—something we were glad we did, as it was required to receive our actual entry tickets. Upon arrival, the process was seamless: we exchanged the voucher at the ticket counter and entered almost immediately, with virtually no wait. The self-guided audio tour was one of the best we've experienced. It was thoughtfully curated, offering a wealth of historical detail and engaging storytelling. The narration was clear and easy to follow, perfectly paced to guide us through each room without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. Moving from space to space, we gained a deeper understanding of the palace’s architecture, purpose, and the people who once lived and worked there, and those that still do. This tour felt like a rare privilege—an opportunity to step back in time and witness history brought to life in a meaningful way. It far exceeded my expectations and left me with a greater appreciation for the rich cultural and historical significance of the site. I would highly recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in history, architecture, or simply looking for a remarkable and enriching experience.

Our guide Chris was amazing. He explained what we would see and when we needed to move to avoid crowds and have a front row seat to everything. As a bonus, we got to see King Charles and Princess Sophie. This is a must do tour to avoid the crowds and get up front to the action.

The guide who knew the best vantage points at the right moment

Thanks to Nelson's professional ,interesting and humorous guide, we had a wonderful experience and learned a lot.

Very good guide. Weather excellent. Scenery beautiful.

Our Tour Guide, Jeremy, made the experience very interesting and enjoyable. He is a top guide, with humor and enthusiasm.

Having done a different walking tour previously, I had a certain expectation, this tour blew it out of the water!! We hit specific spots at specific times and had such good views!! It was fast paced in places but the guide was kind enough to make sure everyone in the group kept up at all points! Absolutely brilliant, and Brendan the guide was just fantastic, I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was worth every penny!!

I absolutely loved this tour and guide. Leader was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and also ahead of the other groups in where to get best view. Highly reccomend this company, others charged double and were packed out.

Unfortunately the change of guard was cancelled for when we were booked. I would have expected to get a refund in this case, however the walking tour was carried out for the same cost. I didn't expect that at all! Would appreciate that we get a refund since we didn't get to see what we paid for.. even though the reason was that it was cancelled from the palace end

The title and description implied that our group would be seeing the changing of the guard, which is the only reason this tour was booked. We did not see the changing of the guard. Therefore, we would not have booked this trip, especially for as much as it cost.

The guide, Aaren, is truly exceptional. He was super organized and knowledgable. His London English is bright and vibe making the tour so delightlghful. A+

My husband and I really enjoyed the walking tour. This was our first trip to London and our tour guide,Jay made the tour very enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and shared alot of great information. It was funny to us that he was American like us but giving tours in London.

Just the whole experience of Buckingham palace state room tour was amazing ! Well planned and structured tour, handled by professional staff!

Catarina was an excellent tour guide. Between the incredible amount of history she shared and the manner in which it was done, was fantastic. Loved the sense of humor which made it all the more enjoyable.

This was a remarkable tour. Ellen our tour guide was energetic enthusiastic and so well versed in the history of London and the royals. She was pure joy to listen to and learn from. Great great tour

Great tour guide and great tour. I would 100% recommend doing this tour, I had a blast and it's complete value for money.

The guide was great. I thought you could go into more private rooms. The staff in the palace are very unfriendly and you have little time to enjoy the flair

Nathan was our guide. Can not say enough about how much knowledge we got from tour but his humor just added to our experience. Would love to have him anytime we needed a guide. Our 12 year old grandson was with us and he really enjoyed and has been talking about facts we learned on tour👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Our tour guide, Paul, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about London and Buckingham Palace. He also got us a good spot to see the changing of the guards.

Tour guide was amazing, we got there 5 minutes late however they accommodated us, we were in a group with a very knowledgeable young woman who provided so much brilliant information . Thank you !

Guide Aaron was well informed, with humour. A good storyteller. We learn a lot about the English monarchy and the guard ceremony.

Our guide, Isabelle, was great. Lots of additional insight into the Abbey and the Palace. When I booked the tour it included a viewing of the changing of the guard. When we arrived, we were informed that there was no guard change on Tuesdays. Why would you even offer that option for a day that it does not occur???

The entire tour was exceptional! We were blessed with the BEST tour guide. She knew where and when you get the very best views, great pictures and even the best place to see the King driving out. This the best tour you could ask for! Thank you!

The guide is well documented and explains very clearly, and takes you to places where you can take good pictures.

We would have liked 1 audio guide translated into French

Informative and entertaining. It was very nice to take a walk in a sunny summer day

The tour was really knowledgeable and nice. We loved how she knew exactly where to put us so we could well see the change of the guard. Recommend.

It was perfect time with Paul 💫

It was very informative and interesting. We learned a lot and appreciated more details we otherwise would not have eithout our tour guide, Hamish. Quite thd talented fellow. We enjoyed it!

Alexandra was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She answered all questions, she made the tour very enjoyable in the midst of the UK heat wave!

Our guide , Adrian, was amazing. Very informative and animated- he held our grandson's attention. We learned so much history . The tour was at a great pace for all 3 generations in our group.

The title and description implied that our group would be seeing the changing of the guard, which is the only reason this tour was booked. We did not see the changing of the guard. Therefore, we would not have booked this trip, especially for as much as it cost.

Very extensive knowledge, it was a pleasure to listen, great time, great interaction with the children. Highly recommended. Best regards to Mr. Ulrich.

The guide had a lot of energy and good humor. Quite attentive. Lots of relevant information and curiosities. Though, concerning Big Ben, the information was very poor. It could easily be the high point of the experience.

Lucy was very knowledge with a good twist of humor to make the tour engaging for everyone. She was also very helpful for a family in our group with a stroller.

This is a great tour. Our fabulous guide, Natalia, is so knowledgable, we learnt so much from her. We loved all our time spent in Westminster Abbey, then the walk through St James park to Buckingham Palace and then through the little streets to Picadilly Circus. Natalia kept us entertained for the whole tour with so much information to pass on in a very friendly and personal manner.

It was an awesome experience and Ashley was a great guide, he was very engaging and shared secrets of the area that other tourists wouldn't find out about. He also recommended a rippa pub in London to visit

Brandon is a very good tour guide with interesting stories and a direct style. He kept everyone interested throughout and also kept the group together. He is a very good storyteller, and we learned a lot of interesting things during the walk. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to everyone.

Our Spanish Guide Lady Monica was very informative and very attentive keeping everyone on the group she needs a microphone apart that it was excellent

Our guide Lucy was a wealth of information and you could tell she loved her job and cared about her charge. We all enjoyed her leadership and comments

It was a delightful experience. Ana Maria is a lovely person with a lot of historical knowledge. We enjoyed and learned a lot. 100% recommendable. Fabian and Ernesto

It was wonderful to learn so much knowledge and special facts from Irina. Booking was super easy. Gladly again

It was a good experience. And our tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, I thought the advertising was misleading as I thought we actually got to go inside Buckingham Palace.

The abbey tour was great. I expected to do more at buckingham palace other than look at it from across the street for 5 minutes. We did nothing at Big Ben

Our guide was great, he made us a wonderful and very enjoyable tour, congratulations, we highly recommend the tour, he took us to places we never imagined. Thank you very much, very nice experience

Our tour guide Lucy was very friendly and explained the sights to us in a very pleasant way. Always happy to return! 7 stars for Lucy!!!

Sandra, our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable of English history and a great story teller. We were invested as soon as we started. Took the edge off of the heat that day. Everything happened according to plan and got to see the palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abby, plus much, much more along the way to each.

We are more than satisfied. The tour is really interesting and highly recommended. We saw a lot and learned great stories and details. Also very flexible. We had booked the English tour by mistake. This was sorted out on the spot in 5 minutes and we were then able to join the tour with a German-speaking guide. Bossa was great and gave us lots of interesting information. Top all round. Highly recommended, especially our guide

The history of Westminster and its impressive homage to kings, queens, scientist, poets, writers, and actors throughout the ages is simply amazing!!

Our guide, Alexandra, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate how she organized the trip and helped with photos.. We had trouble finding our group on a busy corner with other tour groups meeting at the same location. There was a lot of commotion with the police at the time and we found our group later, after joining the wrong group.. Suggest starting in a more unique spot, and with a description of the contact.

Ticketing experience was good. Our guide, Bossa, was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her commentary was very inclusive of all members of the group, relevant and illuminating. She is a credit to the tour guide 'profession'. After our tour with her, it is easy to understand why Westminster Abbey is widely acknowledged as one of the most special places in England, if not the world. Loved the walk up to Buckingham and St James' palaces also.

It made me want to learn new things about history and I realized that I wanted to know more not only about history but also about painters.

Perfect way to cover 2 historical places at a nice pace (you get to see everything) with transportation included. It's highly recommended. 5 stars.

enjoyed hearing guide tell us about the palaces

Everything worked out great and the excursion was amazing. No issues at all and I can't really ask for more than that.

The bus took us everywhere and the tour guuude. Was helpful

First of all, the tour guide lady was awesome. She made sure that everyone was with the group, and what was expected. Going to buckingham Palace and having the opportunity to walk through it was just amazing. Windsor Castle was no different. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants to have a great time on their vacation.

Queen Mary's Doll House was so much more than I imagined. The three foot tall structure is complete with an elevatora and water supply! How can you not want to visit something as bizzare as that?

The Windsor Castle, the longest occupied castle in Europe was built in the 11th century and known for it's exemplary Gothic architecture

All 19 rooms of the Buckingham Palace are decorated with such great taste! The furniture and art work are truly exquisite! A true depiction of elegance- much like the Royal Family itself.

The very fact that I got to visit the State rooms, where Her Majesty entertains numerous esteemed dignitaries is one I will remember forever.

The picture gallery at the Buckingham Palace is such a ravishing site! The use of the multi-lingual audio guide ensures you get the most of the tour with background information on everything you are witnessing

After a delightful tour of the famous Buckingham Palace, you are driven in comfort, to the Windsor Palace, where you ge to see the Longest-occupied castle in all of Europe!

The Buckingham Palace in all it's splendor, the vibrant Royal Garden and the Windsor Castle are three very different but equally mesmerising views to experience!

The Long Walk, a gorgeous path in the middle of a dense forest, in itself is worth the visit! The Windsor castle is such a spectacular vision!

Walking through the Buckingham Palace, you never cease to forget that you are literally walking in the footsteps of some of the worlds most infuencial leaders! Such a divine experience

It is no surprise that the Windsor Castle in Berkshire is an extremely popular tourist destination! The architecture is extraordinary!

The guide was well knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor which made the experience more enjoyable.

Cool to see those things in real life, guiding was amazing

I liked that it was self-guided.

It's was lovely guided tour at The Royal Mews !

The floats are spectacular and there were a couple of horses.

It was nice seeing the different carriages but I thought we would see more horses.

Simple and fast. When I had questions, I found the support chat and talking to an agent helpful.

The staff there were very helpful and friendly. But the address in the confirmation email was wrong! It said Canada gate and we waited there thinking that a tour guide will meet us there because there was nothing near Canada gate!! Please correct the address!

Hello, I expected more from this. It was rather disappointing.

The ticket I bought to enter Buckingham Palace turned out to be for the horse stables. My four-person ticket was wasted. I bought another ticket at the gate. I'm angry because I wasn't given enough warning or explanation

The location did not match and we could not take part in the tour. Money spent in vain, for nothing.

This was supposed to be a 3hr experience!!! We did it in 20mins!!

We were only late for a while and got refused entry

I don't have good experience with bought tickets

i have issue about refund of the VAT. I unable to claim all the VAT back. Thats really sad case

The entire tour was amazing! I really wish I could remember the tour guides name. She was incredible! She wore a capless hat. Extremely enjoyable tour!

A Royal Day to Remember! Our visit to London wouldn’t have been complete without experiencing the majesty of both the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, and each lived up to its iconic status in the most unforgettable way. The Tower of London tour was an absolute highlight—steeped in history, drama, and intrigue. From the moment we stepped inside the ancient fortress, we were transported back in time. The Beefeater guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and witty, bringing centuries of royal history and tales of imprisonment, betrayal, and triumph to life. Seeing the Crown Jewels in person was awe-inspiring—photos don’t do them justice. Walking the old stone walls and standing on the very ground where history unfolded gave us chills. After that, we made our way to Buckingham Palace, and the contrast between the two royal landmarks was a beautiful complement. Where the Tower is historic and rugged, Buckingham Palace is elegant and majestic. Touring the State Rooms, we were struck by their opulence and artistry—everything from the chandeliers to the furniture to the artwork was breathtaking. It was like walking through a living museum of British royal heritage. The Changing of the Guard ceremony added that extra dose of pomp and pageantry, and it truly felt like being part of a centuries-old tradition. Whether you're a history lover or just looking to be inspired by beauty and legacy, these tours are an absolute must. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for the British monarchy and an unforgettable sense of connection to the past. Highly recommend making both a priority when visiting London—together, they offer the perfect blend of grit, grandeur, and glory!

Our guide, Jo, was awesome! She was very friendly, and extremely informative. Really appreciated all of her knowledge. Only wish the tour was longer to have experienced more and gotten even more information from Jo! Thank you Jo for such a wonderful experience!

Great walking tour, easy to find the meeting place. Paeter was informative, entertaining and kept things moving at a good pace. One suggestion is that the tour should end at the meeting place or disclose in the reservation that the tour will end at the Towers of London and you'll have to find transportion back to your hotel.

Our guide was Rob and we really enjoyed his knowledge and humor he did an excellent job job. It was a lot to do in a short time, but we only had a very short stay so this was perfect. Rob crammed a lot of history and stories in and it was perfect.

Very knowledgeable guide and was extremely attentive to getting us out of the sun and being in line to get into the crown jewel viewing before the crowd.

Very good guide. Very interesting tour in a beautiful setting.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 great experience

The tour guide informative and experienced

Jill is a top- notch guide with a depth of knowledge she shares in an entertaining memorable manner.

Our guide's professionalism and enthusiasm!

Our tour guide, Natalie, was amazing. She has a lot of historical knowledge and was fun. Totally recommend this tour!

Louisa was a fantastic guide. She made the entire tour worth it on her own, but the sites were also amazing.

Well organised, very knowledgeable and guide. She was also very pleasant.

That the tour guide brought it with humor, could tell good stories and was really knowledgeable about the topics.

The guide was friendly and informative about the history of the Tower and other parts of London.

Tales of the Palace residents, both past and present, really help you get perspective while visiting the Buckingham Palace. Great guides!

Our tour guide really enhanced the experience with the nuggets of information he through our way, and the multi-lingual audio book did he rest! Loved the tour.

The St .James Palace, where the Queen herself resides, is a true revelation of the architectural splendor that is the Buckingham Palace! No doubts as to why it is such a popular tourist destination

The perfect blend of French and English antiques, placed about the Buckingham Palace is one to gain inspiration from, for any interior decorator such as myself.

The tour of the neighboring street, leading upto the royal residence in all its glory, topped with audio commentary of the works of art you are witnessing- Awestruck!

So many little secret about the Buckingham Palace and the royal family, made the experience so much better! Great guides!

The street tour with an expert tour guide helps you experience the true lives of a citizen. The royal tour allows a glimpse into the lives of the Royal Family. Such a diverse range of emotions

While the tour across the city helps you learn the many secrets of the establishments, a walk through the majestic Buckingham Palace lets you learn so much about the royal residence!

The palace was beautiful and the tour was well organised and very informative.
