In such cases, your guide will modify the tour to include an alternative Parade where possible, and share more highlights of the Westminster area.
In the case of heavy rain, you will see a wet change (guards marching without music).
For the Changing of the Guard ceremony, we do not stand by the Buckingham Palace gates. The crowds swarm there hours in advance, only to find they can only see the very end of the parade all while being crushed by the masses. Instead, we take you to the best spots only the locals know, and actually walk along with the parade! This way you see the absolute most there is to see, and it’s a much more enjoyable experience.
We highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes for this tour.
Please bring ID for kids 15 and under
