Over a lifetime I have stood outside Buckingham Palace and never thought I would have an opportunity to enter. Thanks to a decision by Her Majesty, the State Rooms are now open to the public during the summer months when the Queen is not in...More

This was our first chance to see the interior of Buckingham Palace and we we simply stunned how gorgeous the premises are. It did get crowded but you should expect that in London I guess

Book in advance and plan on spending half a day at least! This is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture or history. Do yourself a favor and book your ticket!

Buckingham Palace is beautiful! The outside doesn't even begin to describe what the inside looks like. If you'll be in the area while you can get inside the State Rooms, GO! It's worth every penny. Security is like going through TSA, but with out the...More

My sister and I took this tour, and I must say inside the palace is beautiful, and after the tour we were able to sit and eat in their snack shop and tour the grounds behind the palace. An enjoyable and undorgettable experience.

Took a walk to Buckingham Palace having visited before. Lovely building to see. A lot of tourists visit, even when there is no royal ceremonies etc on.

Plan your trip if you can around the Queen’s 2-month holiday so you can tour inside the palace! Just surreal!

To visit London and not experience the Palace would be a disappointment. So much history to view and a very good audio tour to get details on the rooms and the history of the grounds.

We wanted to see the changing of the guard, but after we arrived there we saw a sign saying "No Guard Ceremony Today"; bummer! The building itself is huge, rather plain, and honestly not really worth the time without the guard ceremony.

If you only had an afternoon to experience London on a
grand scale, Westminster would be a wise place to
start. The ornate Houses of Parliament and Westminster
Abbey sit adjacent at a corner of Parliament Square,
and a short stroll along The Mall leads to Buckingham
Palace. Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column are just
up the road as well. As captivating as the
architecture is, the wonders of Mother Nature are

I think it depends upon the time of year. If you are talking about now, I think they would be amenable to changing the date or time. If in summer, they might not have many spaces available to change.
