What you can expect

England is known for fish and chips, four seasons in a day, warm ale, history in spades, and, of course, a deeply ingrained age-old love for pomp and ceremony. Join us as we serve a slice of world-famous ceremonial action with this small-group Changing of the Guard experience in London.

There is so much more to this extravagant shift change than meets the eye. With your expert guide to lead the way, you’ll soon know your Welsh from your Grenadier guard, understand what the deal is with those fuzzy bearskin hats, hear the astounding origins of this dazzling spectacle, and truly get a handle on the significance of every colour, button, mascot, symbol, and movement in this most British of traditions.

From the best possible viewing point, your small group will join the guards on their journey towards Buckingham Palace as you march to the beat of their drums — but what will the music be today?
