About this tour
Explore London’s royal landmarks and political heart on a two-hour walking tour led in German by a local guide. Hear stories from British history as you make your way through Westminster, taking in the exteriors of Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Palace, and Westminster Abbey. Along the route, discover Green Park and Whitehall’s World War II history, with commentary that brings the city’s past into view.
The tour also offers strategic viewing spots for the Changing of the Guard, a ceremony that is subject to change and outside the provider’s control. Buckingham Palace entry is not included, so the focus stays on the palace’s grand exterior and the surrounding sights. This London Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard Walking Tour is a lively way to connect royal tradition with the stories woven through Westminster. Meet outside the front of Santander Bank at least 15 minutes before departure; the meeting point is not Buckingham Palace. Join the walk and see London’s historic center through a local guide’s perspective.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
