Do this because
  • Enjoy the iconic Changing of the Guard ceremony from special vantage points with fewer crowds
  • Witness the Horse Guards Parade and learn about the lesser-known but equally impressive ceremony
  • Take in incredible views of central London from a special rooftop near the Houses of Parliament
What to expect

Start your tour at the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace with your guide and a small group. While the front of the Palace is mobbed with spectators, you’ll head over to a series of special vantage points near Wellington Barracks, where most of the protocol that makes up the ceremony happens. Your guide will bring you into the highly symbolic world of the British military, where every badge, button, and color is imbued with centuries-old stories and traditions.

After you’ve witnessed these two jaw-dropping ceremonies, there is one more surprise for you. Your tour will end on top of an exclusive dome in Westminster that has the best views in the city of Westminster Abbey and 360-degree views over the rest of the city. Spared from the Blitz because of its similarities (in the eyes of German bombers) to St. Paul’s Dome, it is one of the hidden gems of the area and it’s only open to your group!
