Buckingham Palace Guided Tour Including Changing of the Guard Ceremony

Buckingham Palace is the most important palace in England. That's why, during this 2 and a half hour visit, you will be able to access the inside of the palace, something quite exclusive as its doors are only open for about 8 weeks a year.

This visit will take place in groups of a maximum of 25 people. Before entering the palace, you will be accompanied by a professional host to guide you every step of the way. In addition to the palace, you will also have a privileged view of the changing of the guard ceremony.

Depending on the day you visit, you can watch the changing of the guard on foot, carried out by soldiers of the Household Division on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Another option is the cavalry parade and changing of the guard. Although this takes place daily, it will be the ceremony you will see if you attend on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Finally, on Saturdays there is the so-called Guard Mounting or the Inspection of the New Guard. At this ceremony, the captain examines the soldiers to make sure everything is in order, from uniforms to equipment.

Leaving the ceremony aside, and turning your attention to Buckingham Palace, inside you will be able to enjoy an audio guide. Specifically, this audio guide lasts approximately 1 hour, which will take you through all sorts of rooms and halls of the palace. You will visit his majesty's luxurious chambers, huge rooms with classical works of art and perfectly upholstered and historical furniture. This way, you will have been able to get to know the interior of one of the most culturally relevant buildings in the whole of England.
