Perfect view - red line

We were really lucky that the weather was so good. We had chosen the red line because you'll get to see the best bits of London but still in a 'small' circle. We first had some issues with finding the bus stop, so some extra information when you order our ticket would be lovely. We loved every minute of it, but around half 4 it was starting to get really crowded and we had to sit downstairs. Which is not really a problem, but some fresh air or air conditioning would have been nice since it was so hot in there.. I would like to try the other lines as well, but then I will go during the week instead of the weekend.

Good one

The crew was very friendly, the tour was well organized and the food was excellent. Coffee and tea were also very good and you kept the cups as souvenirs. Important to be on the upper dack - as lower you can see less. The traffic was disappointing though.

A bit short

Friendly, and knowledgeable guide. St. Paul's Cathedral was beautiful, but the tour was too short. Buckingham Palace was great. Good self guided tour.

Buckingham Palace Visitor Highlights

  • The State Rooms: the magnificent and opulent decorations are impossible to describe with words alone. Book a Buckingham Palace inside tour and feast your eyes on these historic and dazzling rooms, including the Throne Room and Ballroom. 
  • Buckingham Palace Tours with Prince Charles: The best way to explore the British Palace is with a British monarch at your side (or in your ear). Prince Charles generously recorded an audio-guided tour of Buckingham Palace Royal Mews and the Gardens. What better guide to the Palace than the Prince himself? 
  • Changing of the Guards: No Buckingham Palace entry would be complete without this emblematic experience! To see the ¨redskins¨ Royal Guards in action, get your Buckingham Palace change of guard tickets, with a Royal London and State Rooms Tour!

#BuckinghamPalace - Cameras Ready!

Let’s start with the bad news. No photos are allowed in the State Rooms. But wait for it, photography is encouraged in the Gardens! Have you booked a Buckingham Palace garden tour during the Summer? Then grab your phone or camera, because the Garden is selfie-central! Best spots for those Royal shots?
  • “I never promised you a rose garden” - but you will find one here! What better place to snap a memory of your Buckingham Palace guided tour than knee deep in royal roses?
  •  The Waterloo Vase: This stone urn is a whopping 15 feet tall, carved from a single block of Carrara marble. Insta-perfect, #buckinghampalacegardens. 
  • Across the Water: What better use of your Buckingham Palace tour ticket than to snap a perfect shot of the Royal Residence reflected in the garden lake?
Got a winner? Choose your best snap from one of the three most instagrammable spots listed above, post it on your IG, and tag #dotravelgram to be featured. 

Buckingham Palace Tickets: Visitor Tips

  • Look around you: While the Palace is a must-see, “you’re in London baby!” Make the most of being in this world-famous capital by combining one of the Buckingham Palace tours with a Royal London Tour. 
  • Did you know? The Palace has its own ATM and Post Office. There are rumors of secret underground passageways linking the Palace to Westminster Abbey, the Tube (Subway) system, and the Houses of Parliament. Find out more secrets of the Palace and get tickets to tour Buckingham Palace today!
  • Dress appropriately: It is highly unlikely you will bump into the Queen on your visit, unfortunately, but just in case, better leave the leopard print sweatpants at home! You don’t need to follow a dress code like a Royal to visit a Royal residence, but smart and respectful attire is recommended. 

Combination Tickets: London Attractions

  • Buckingham Palace 2 for 1: Why not save yourself the hassle (and expense) of buying two tickets, when you can purchase combination tickets and tour packages to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle? From the Queen’s official residence to her very own favorite residence, Windsor Castle. Marvel at fine Gothic architecture at St George's Chapel, the venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding! 
  • Stonehenge and Buckingham Palace: Visit two of England’s most famous landmarks in just one day in this Buckingham Palace combination tour. Admire the contrast from your trips to Buckingham Palace State Rooms, with the weird and wonderful rock formation on Salisbury plain.
  • Visit Buckingham Palace as part of the Total London Experience: For ultimate time and money saving, book this award-winning whistle-stop tour of London and Queen Victoria’s Palace. Including a Thames River cruise, Tower of London & Crown Jewels, a walking tour of Greenwich, and a panoramic bus tour of London. That’s one action-packed tour! 

Prepare Your Visit To Buckingham Palace

  • For the best Buckingham Palace price, reserve your Buckingham Palace skip the line tickets ahead of time. Remember that certain areas and tours are only available in June & July (or as part of the special Buckingham Palace Summer Opening). Also, tickets are often sold out fast, so book online to guarantee your reservation!
  • Your Buckingham Palace tickets come with a free multilingual audioguide. For a more personal experience one-on-one with an expert on the Royals, book a guided private tour. 
  • Get ready to enjoy some of the nation’s greatest treasures. There are many priceless paintings and one of a kind sculptures and antiques in the Royal Collection Trust. Be careful and respectful during your visit!
