We begin with a world-famous ceremony and the oldest tradition at Buckingham Palace – the Changing of the Guard. Depending on the day and the schedule of the Household Cavalry, you’ll either get to see the Changing of the Foot Guards or the Changing of the Horse Guards. Your expert local guide will navigate you through the crowds of this time-honored ritual. Here you’ll be entertained with colorful commentary about the pageantry and history behind the ceremony of the King’s red tunic-wearing Foot Guards and their famous bearskin hats as they march with the military band or Household Calvary (depending on your selected tour date). Note: this part of the tour is subject to weather and last minute changes which are beyond our control.
Then on to Buckingham Palace, it looks like a grand bastion to the rest of us, but to King Chalres III it is home sweet home. Only open to visitors once a year for two short months, this is your rare opportunity to explore the State Rooms of the world’s most adored royal family. Get a glimpse into what life is like behind the locked gilded doors and stand in awe amongst the lavish rooms, glittering crystal chandeliers and opulent furnishings.
