About this tour

See the Changing of the Guard unfold across London on a lively walking tour designed to keep you moving and ahead of the crowds. Rather than waiting in one spot outside Buckingham Palace, follow the ceremony through several stages, from the inspection and Old Guard to the arrival of the New Guard.

Your guide leads you to vantage points for the action, then along the route as Guards and ceremonial bands march through the area. The experience offers a closer look at a centuries-old tradition of pomp and ceremony, with plenty to see along the way. Snacks are included, while lunch and gratuities are not.

This fast-paced walk covers ground and includes at least one flight of steps, so it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties. Meet near Green Park, close to Buckingham Palace and served by major Underground lines. Choose this London Changing of the Guard Walking Tour for an energetic way to experience one of the city’s best-known ceremonies.

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.
