I have had several visits to the Changing of the Guard ceremony but this tour was by far the best. I saw the parade from different viewpoints, got so close to them on The Mall and love the variety of locations. Our guide, Angie, was amazing 👏 great knowledge, awesome stories and so helpful. 5 stars 🌟 and more.

Our guide, Paul, was incredibly knowledgeable and positioned our group to get five different views of the Changing of the Guard. We were quite literally as close as one could get. Well done Paul!
