thanks Anna who gave a very thorough history of the royals and monarchy. we are very happy to see the change of guard with a good view. thank you
guide: Good. Our Guide Paul is very funny and he made sure all his group members is following him which is very good. itinerary: Still alright as the whole area is super crowded. Maybe the area must reserve for people like us who paid for the tour . Rather then so many random ppl all Custer around. see last 3 pic Meeting area is Abit confused from the Klook pic. I specially take the actual photo for better understanding
Ian was a great guide and explained everything clearly and made it interesting. Perfect size of 30 people.

Tour guide Aaron is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
It's a very nice tour. Highly recommended. I enjoyed alot.
Highly recommended itinerary. Our guide was not only super fun, but timed everything perfectly so we could get a close-up view of the entire Changing of the Guard ceremony. The weather was also perfect, making it the best experience ever!!
super highly recommended to book a tour like this, if you’re looking to watch the changing of thw guarda. an expert tour guide is necessary to tell you where are the best places to stand and what to look out for, also if anything put of the ordinary is happening. Natalie was so amazing, and she made this experience absolutely enjoyable!
abit confusing as to who to follow. there is no "klook" signage. abit unsure who to follow and end up with natasha. she explained all in detailed and lead us to all strategic location for photos.
Paul was amazing! Very knowledgeable of what's going on. He took us to the best areas to watch the guards pass. There are a lot of groups, we definitely would not have been able to navigate this experience on our own. Well worth the money.
