Must do especially if first time visiting London!
Must do tour! Meet up location easy to find. Three hour tour hit all the major sights and then some. Adrian provided just the right amount of information to keep everyone engaged. Highly recommend if this is your first time in London. We had a front row view of the changing of the guards.

History Walk
We really enjoyed our guided walking tour with Dan. He was knowledgeable, considerate, and shared interesting facts about British history and the Changing of the Guard. We learned a lot and appreciated his thoughtful guidance throughout the tour. Thanks for a great experience!

Overall great experience!
Our tour was amazing! Owen was great he was witty and knowledgeable! Very patient with our 5 kids! (All under eight) Our older two practically walked with Owen the whole time! The views we got were like no other! The tour I would recommend to anyone!

Humorous, informative, worthwhile
Our tour guide, Ari, was terrific. We'd planned a Wednesday tour anticipating the Changing of the Guards. However, we'd been notified by the company the previous day that the ritual would not be proceeding as scheduled due to unique celebrations in honor of the 3rd anniversary of the king's coronation. Ari assured us we'd still have a great time. It ended up being a great development. Ari began her typical tour but things diverged when we got to Buckingham Palace. She noticed a motorcade proceeding and positioned us so we're just five feet from Charles and Camilla driving by in their BMW. Then we saw Princess Anne on her royal carriage heading to Hyde Park. Ari did a wonderful job pivoting to explain these things in the context of broader British history. And with some funny modern observations, too.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard! cost?
+
Prices start at $21 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard! take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard!?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does British Royalty walking tour including The Changing Of The Guard! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
