Many tourists make the mistake of viewing the ceremony outside of Buckingham Palace. However on this tour, handpicked vantage points ensure you get the best views of the royal tradition while listening to commentary that explains each part of the performance. Marvel at the shimmering coats of the household cavalry as their riders control the horses with expert precision; capture photographs of the iconic red and black attire of the King’s foot soldiers; and, move quickly between vantage points in a small group of only 15 people.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-cx2ej0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-1i8p6j0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-xcoai\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a53cbfa6de\"\u003e1 hour 30 minutes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a53cbfa6de\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-1nkcif1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-1i8p6j0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bcdcb105b3\"\u003ePass by:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"e1eebb6a1e\"\u003eBuckingham Palace\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-18r5m61\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aca0ade214 b23c3f480a cd2e7d62b0 cd0091cad1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bcdcb105b3 fd0c3f4521\"\u003eYour tour concludes outside of Buckingham Palace.
