The epitome of British pomp and military ceremony for which Britain is famous around the world. Elite soldiers from the military have been dutifully guarding the Monarch since 1660. The 7 regiments that guard the monarch, known as the 'Household Division', are so devoted to their duty that they will famously not acknowledge or allow themselves to be distracted by the public.

During the ceremony, immaculately turned out guards are accompanied by marching bands playing a rousing mix of military music, whose origins dates back to the morale-boosting songs played before the British military went into battle.

I was expecting to be guided towards the front door of the palace but not… so we have to run towards the front to be able to see the changing of guard.it’s not worth it… to expensive.

The tour was terrible, she was biased and did very little than talk about the elite and privileged people of London. Did not find her knowledgeable, kept talking about Harrod’s, very monotone. It was a disappointing tour.

Sheila was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, funny and thorough. Her information was interesting. The changing of the guard portion was a little chaotic.

This tour is a good way to get see to a lot of the key places in London if you’ve got a limited amount of time. We didn’t get to see the changing of the guard because of the day we went, but we got to pass by a lot of the big tourist attractions and had a chance to get off and walk over to Buckingham Palace which was cool to see up close!
