Buckingham Palace Entry & Changing of the Guard Tour

This tour pairs a walk through the Palace's opulent State Rooms — used for state banquets and official receptions — with the Changing of the Guard, the ceremonial handover performed by the King's Guard that has drawn crowds for generations. The State Rooms open to visitors only during the palace's limited summer opening, so this combination is a way to see both the working royal residence and its most famous public spectacle in one outing. With a 99 must-see score, it's about as headline an attraction as London offers, and the culture-heavy morning slot suits first-time visitors after the classic royal experience.
