Overbooked and no refund

They overbooked the tour, I was suppose to receive a refund but as of this date. I still haven't received my money back.

Fantastic experience

Extremely well organised. All staff very friendly. Never felt rushed so had plenty of time to look at exhibits/paintings etc. audio device easy to use. Tea rooms were efficient. There wasn’t even a queue for the toilets! Totally recommend the visit. Looking forward to going back once the refurb of the 2 rooms has been completed. One last thing, when you exit, it would have been helpful to have a sign for Victoria Station, but luckily we had a map with us

A beautiful palace.

The experience is quite good. I have a certain familiarity & interest in British royalty. The palace is beautiful. It is not a very long visit time, unless you really want to admire everything & look in detail. 90 mins is enough. Had a coffee towards the end at the cafe. One of the staff recommended a pastry; but did not have.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit and that your interest in British royalty helped make the experience even more meaningful. The palace is certainly a beautiful and historic place to explore. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the visit duration. One of the great things about the experience is that visitors can explore at their own pace, whether they prefer a shorter visit or wish to spend more time admiring the details and learning about the palace's history. It's also lovely to hear that you had the opportunity to relax with a coffee at the café afterwards. Perhaps you'll have to try one of the recommended pastries on your next visit! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. 😊 VoxCity International

No Photos just enjoy

It was a great tour but in booking it, it was misrepresented as including the Mews. I worked with Tripadvisor and the supplier and couldn't get it cancelled. I gave up.

Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad you enjoyed the tour, and we're sorry for the confusion around what was included in the booking, we'll be sure to look into this. Best regards, Vox City International

Try to get some sort of a 'deal' !

Organised very well , not that much of a queue . Tickets were a little expensive we thought.

Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad the experience was well organised with minimal wait time. We appreciate you letting us know your thoughts on pricing too. Best regards, Vox City International

Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

How much does Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour cost?

+

Prices start at £23 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 Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour take?

+

Plan for about 2 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 Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour?

+

Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.

What is included in Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour?

+

Included: ‘Royal London’ audio guide app in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese; State Rooms audio guide in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese an; Buckingham Palace State Rooms entry ticket; and Any applicable fees and taxes. Not included: Guided tour; and Headset and mobile device (for Royal London audio guide app). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Where is the meeting point for Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour?

+

The experience starts at Buckingham Palace, Spur Road, London, SW1A 1AA, United Kingdom. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

What languages is Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour offered in?

+

It is offered in German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Buckingham Palace State Rooms Ticket And Royal London Audio Tour?

+
