Customer Reviews
We didn’t go inside Buckingham Palace, but we did watch the Changing of the Guard, and it’s absolutely worth it if you’re visiting London. The ceremony is impressive, full of tradition, and one of those experiences that really makes you feel like you’re in the heart of the city. A tip: get there early. The area fills up fast, and once the crowd settles in, it can be tough to find a good spot with a clear view. Even just standing outside the palace is memorable. The architecture is beautiful, and seeing it in person gives you a sense of the scale and history behind it.
Highly recommend the palace tour as the palace is quite stunning on the inside. Do buy the tickets in advance and show up right in time for your entry because there’s no wait then! The gift shop also has some quality souvenirs so I highly recommend it. Also, the palace gardens were my favourite gardens in London ✨✨✨✨
I had a great time attending Buckingham palace! The grounds were stunning and I even got to see a short performance from the guards. The landscaping and fountains were the highlight for me. The self-guided tour inside was great too. Buy your ticket in advance to pick your preferred time.
