Enjoy the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace
You cannot visit London without taking part in some of its quintessential traditions and institutions, such as the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. 

Your guide will secure you a spot with a prime view at the Changing of the Guard, after which you’ll have the rare chance to visit the inside of the royal residence: Buckingham Palace. The palace opens its doors to visitors for a limited time each year. This is a very popular tour!

Guides are not allowed to enter inside the palace, so your guide will take the time to educate you beforehand and then you'll set off on your own inside to explore the State Rooms. 

You can also book this tour with a lovely Afternoon Tea experience after your visit to Buckingham Palace.
