Walk through royal London with a guide, then use timed-entry tickets to explore Buckingham Palace independently at your own pace.

About this tour

Follow London's royal story on a guided walk from Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace, where a timed-entry ticket lets you explore the palace at your own pace. Along the way, hear how the Crown and Parliament shaped the city, with tales of royal intrigue, palace break-ins, assassination attempts, and the English Civil War.

Your guide leads the two-hour walk past Wellington Arch and through Green Park, sharing the history behind these landmarks and the royal figures connected to them. The tour ends at Buckingham Palace. Entry is self-guided, so you can spend approximately two hours inside discovering the palace independently. The full experience lasts four hours, and the group is limited to a maximum of 8 people. The walk runs in all weather, so comfortable shoes and a rain layer are useful.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 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 7.4. Top 30% in London means it ranks in the top 30% of tours in London by this score.
