Great

The guide was excellent. He knew his stuff and communicated well. I had 2 issues with the tour. 1) the meeting place is confusing. I had a taxi drop us off at the address, but the address is a long street. The actual meeting point is by the memorial statue. 2) the description says 3 miles walking. It was actually almost 5 miles. So if thats alot for you, think twice. The tea was lovely and we were in good position to view the guards marching back from Buckingham palace. It is not the actual changing of the guard at the palace. Still fun to see though

Great

I’m a little surprised that we were seated for high tea with people that we didn’t know from the tour and then expected to share food. Very uncomfortable setting. This should be changed immediately.

Know before you book

Will the Changing of the Guard still take place in inclement weather?

The Changing of the Guard ceremony can sometimes be cancelled at very short notice, especially in wet weather. These decisions can be made as late as 10:45am on the day. The tour will still run with an alternative itinerary in the event that the Guard Change is cancelled.
