Really enjoyed this tour, Jason was very knowledgable and knew where we needed to be for the changing of the guard. We walked for miles but it was at an easy pace allowing slower walkers to catch up. Lots of photo opportunities and Jason even took photos too to save too many selfies. Highly recommended

I booked the Changing of the Guard Walking Tour for my mom while I ran to the airport to meet an arriving friend. Mom raved about it! She kept telling us all about the things she’d learned during the tour and it was substantive. I would absolutely book again in the future with Get Your Guide and highly recommend this one in particular.

Was more than expected. We got to see the changing of the guards from multiple places at different times of the process… not just in front of the Palace. Was a comprehensive walking tour that covered a lot of ground but was excellent. Well worth the money.
