This two-hour walking tour in London lets you watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony with a knowledgeable guide. The tour starts at Piccadilly Circus, where you gather before moving to St. James's Palace. You will see this 500-year-old palace from outside and wait for the guards to start the ceremony. Then you follow the guards along The Mall, which offers a clear view of Buckingham Palace, though the part of the ceremony inside Buckingham Palace’s courtyard is not included. On the way to the royal section of London, you walk along Regent Street, a well-known shopping street. The guide leads you to the best spots for viewing the ceremony, and at one point, you will have the chance to march alongside the guards. The tour covers palaces, royal parks, and royal residences. It lasts about two hours and includes the guide’s commentary. There are no breaks for toilets or refreshments during the walk, and the ceremony route or timing may change depending on the British Army's schedule or weather conditions. This tour is suitable for adults and children accompanied by an adult, but good mobility is necessary because the route includes three flights of stairs and marching at the guards’ pace. Dogs are not allowed except for guide dogs.
