★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7,395 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $44Our pick

Review of Buckingham Palace State Rooms tickets, including the art, audio tour, café, gardens, timing, price, and practical tips.

“This experience is a must do in London! Walking through so much history was outstanding and the State Rooms were truly exceptional. Just a few heads up, the no pictures rule is strictly enforced, no big deal though, it lets you live in the moment. Also, the ticket office is on the side of Buckingham Palace just off of Spur Road. The tour is also self guided with a video phone and headphones provided to use in the tour. Definitely worth the time!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,793 reviews · 1 hour 45 minutes (approx.) · from $26Top rated

See London’s Changing of the Guard with a guide who knows the best viewing spots, royal landmarks, crowd tactics, and ceremony limits.

“Our local guide Angi was very knowledgeable and pleasant. This walking tour is at higher pace so anyone with issues I would not recommend this one. For anyone that can walk distances this is a wonderful tour. We started in Picadilly Circus just across from the underground station and ended up at Buckingham palace. With this tour our guide took us to places away from the crowds for the best view of the guards walking by. This tour does not take you to right in front of Buckingham Palace which is way too crowded.”

“The title is "Changing of the Guard" but should have been Walking Tour to learn about the history of the Changing of the guard. There was a fantastic parade (being we chose a tour on Sunday, and knew that beforehand) BUT we assumed we would be ending at Buckingham Palace to see the actual ceremony. That was NOT the case. The only way we could get close to the palace was long after the crowd left. I would have liked to get to the palace early in order to see the ceremony more than the parade. Our guide, Aaron was very knowledgeable and his presentation was very interesting. He sounded…”
