Walk past London’s royal landmarks with a French-speaking guide, and watch the Changing of the Guard when scheduled.

About this tour

Discover London’s royal landmarks on a two-hour walking tour led by a French-speaking guide. Follow stories of Britain’s monarchy as you pass Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and St. James’s Palace, then continue through Green Park toward Westminster Abbey. On scheduled days, you may also see the Changing of the Guard; the ceremony is subject to change for reasons outside the provider’s control.

This London Buckingham Palace walking tour focuses on the landmarks’ exteriors, with a guide bringing their history to life along the way. Buckingham Palace entry is not included. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for changeable weather. Be sure to check your meeting details carefully: the group meets outside the front of Santander Bank, not at Buckingham Palace. Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 37% in London means it ranks in the top 37% of tours in London by this score.
