Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the British monarch, serves as both a royal residence and the administrative headquarters of the monarchy. Originally known as Buckingham House, it was constructed in 1703 and became the royal residence in 1837 with Queen Victoria's accession. King George III acquired it in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte.
The palace features 775 rooms, including 19 State Rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 92 offices, and the largest private garden in London, spanning 42 acres. Its facade was redesigned by Sir Aston Webb in 1913. During World War II, despite being bombed, the royal family remained in the palace, which reinforced its symbolic significance.
Buckingham Palace houses a vast collection of art, including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Canaletto, which reflect the royal family’s rich cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the grandeur of the State Rooms, where state banquets and official events take place. The palace is also the setting for the Changing of the Guard, a key tradition that attracts visitors from around the world.
Each summer (July–October), Buckingham Palace opens to the public, offering a rare opportunity to tour its opulent rooms, including the Throne Room and Picture Gallery. The palace has witnessed key moments in British history, involving the British monarchy, kings, queens, and princes, and continues to serve as a working royal residence today under King Charles.
With its rich history, stunning architecture, and connection to the royal family, Buckingham Palace is a must-visit for those eager to experience the heart of British tradition, culture, and royal life.

The meeting point can be a bit confusing since we were directed to bus Stop 1 which was the Harry Potter tour. Fortunately it was easy to ask the attendant which bus was for our trip. David our guide was great. very knowledgeable about not only our destination but many interesting facts of the important landmarks on the way. I would definitely go with company again.

It was easy to find the meet-up point and they drop you back closer to the pick up point although there was another drop off location in Kensington. Our guide and driver were pretty good but just can’t remember their names. It was definitely worth it!

The nice weather was so nice that we could take a lot of great photos! The meeting point was easy to find! Tour Guide Tobert and coach driver Marick were really nice and friendly! They introduced a lot about London city, the Stonehenge and bath!

Great to take the baby around for the first time with his Arsenal-loving dad! As not the biggest football fan, was good for me too, loved all the history and info on the family-oriented club and how it’s evolved while staying true to its roots! Also so amazing to have such great chat about the ladies team and their history too!

Even though we visited London on the busiest day in the last 15 years, we still got plenty of places we visited, the buses are comfortable, they have free earphones for live commentary and overall great experience

A must do when in London. The sights are all most far apart. This helps to see sights in one go, based on which routes joined. We did the Yellow route as this has a lot of buses. Green route has fewer buses so be mindful when trying to catch this. There is no timing for the buses but the Toot app has indicators of live locations of buses. In summer, it’s hot so take the covered part.

This trip was exactly as I expected with very precise planning and clear communication from the tour agency. the tour guide, Mr. Wang, is one of the best guides I have encountered and believe me when I saw I have seen my fair share of one-day tour guides. He was sharing details of the culture and history of England throughout each of the long bus rides and has a calming storytelling voice so it was very interesting to listen to and no pressure to stay awake if you want to nap. We were extremely lucky with the weather - despite a forecast of rain, there was an abundance of sunlight and no rain until we were driving back. I can imagine this trip would not be ideal if it was raining throughout. A great bonus was the lunch the tour treated us to for free at a well known fish and chips place. Highly recommend that you book both the Stonehenge and Windsor castle tickets or else you’d not have much to do on this trip. Overall I recommend!

No exchange of ticket needed. Let them know pier you wanted to alight and they will lead you to the correct boarding point. Cheaper than getting tickets there.

Take a cruise ship, bask in the soft sunshine, feel the cool river breeze, admire the scenery along the coast, listen to the ship's staff introduce various buildings, and walk around on the shore at will after docking. This arrangement saves worry and trouble!
