Robin is een geweldige gids. Hij brengt het op een hilarische manier en zorgde ervoor dat we steeds de beste plaatsen hadden om de changing of the guards te bekijken. Ik zou hem meteen weer boeken!! Aanrader!

I think one of the best walking tours I've been on! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and would point out small, hidden gems of history. His charming personality and many many clever jokes were just the icing on the cake. Thank you for making me look for the small details with every step I take through London!

Robin is a fantastic guide. He made the Changing of the Guard come alive. He was friendly, funny, and knew all the timings perfectly. We saw the Guards and band several times from different spots. Highly, highly recommended! If I could give it ten stars, I would.

Program

Watch the Changing of the Guard
with a historian-comedian guide

Meet your guide at Trafalgar Square and watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace together. Your London-born guide, a historian and stand-up comedian, shares interesting facts and funny stories and leads you to good spots for viewing the ceremony.

Walk along The Mall with the guards and the band

Walk along The Mall in step with the marching guards and military band. Learn how to tell the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards apart, and discover the meaning behind their uniforms, buttons, badges and bearskin hats.

Explore Wellington Barracks and St James's Palace

Beyond the ceremony, you'll also see Wellington Barracks, St James's Palace and Buckingham Palace. Head to the Guards Chapel, the spiritual home of the Household Division, to learn more about the history of the royal guards. With some luck you may even spot a royal, and your guide knows the best places to be if that happens.

※ Entry into Buckingham Palace is not included.
※ On rainy days, a wet-weather ceremony may be held without the band playing.
