Top Tours of Buckingham Palace

World-class art. Vintage French and English furniture. Ornate chandeliers. Over 200 centuries of tradition. That’s what awaits you inside Buckingham Palace. Entering the home of the British Royal Family is an exclusive opportunity that only happens during the summer months.

But what can make a tour of Buckingham Palace even better? Getting a tour of the Mall and St. James Park before you head into the palace. Your local guide knows all the coolest stories of this entire area and the palace—things you probably won’t hear on the audio guide inside the palace. So make your visit to Buckingham Palace even better whether you want to explore inside or just plan to see the Changing of the Guard on the Mall.
