Overview

This is the best way to maximise your time in London and witness highlights of both changing the guard ceremonies in London.

First up, we will witness the grandeur of the Change of the Lifeguard, a ceremony which dates back over 360 years, as the Household Cavalry face off across a spectacular parade ground. If you love horses, this is perfect!

Then we make a beeline for St James Palace to observe the end of the second change of the guard ceremony, where you will see the world famous guards with bearskin hats and red or grey tunics.

Finally, its off to Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the monarchy, to hear tales of its history, and leave with a series of photos which will be the envy of all your friends back at home.

This is a slower paced walk than our other changing the guard tour. No marching alongside the guards, but plenty of history, photo opportunities, and more guards than you could hope for!

Our guide Jess was amazing. He told us all kinds of history as we walked through London. We were right up close for the changing of the horse guard. It was great fun!

We have seen the Changing of the Guards before but, this was seeing the Guards, hearing the stories of each group. Yes, there are four groups at each change. The On-Coming and Off-Going from two different groups. Scott's stories of all the other things we passed along the way were bonuses! Plus, advice and personal adecdotes! Terrific job Scott!

Thanks Matt!!
