Abholung

• Alle treffen sich am Startpunkt

Gut zu wissen

• Service animals allowed
• Public transportation options are available nearby
• Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
• Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
• Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
• We tend to move pretty fast to keep up with the guards, so please wear comfortable shoes and always carry water.
• We will not stand at the forecourt of Buckingham Palace as, due to crowds, you see very little and the experience would be ten times less fun. We want to get you as close as possible with the opportunity to take some amazing snapshots.
• It is at the discretion of the British Army to change or cancel the Ceremony. The announcement will not be made until after 10.30am so come rain or shine, the Urban Saunters Changing of the Guard experience will go ahead. If the full ceremony is cancelled, there will still be the chance to see the guards marching, just without the music.
• No videoing of the guide unless they have given permission
• Ceremony can be altered at the discretion of the British Army, or occasionally due to rain
• There are no toilet or refreshment breaks on this tour
• Tour operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
• Sundays – From April 2025, the Army is trying out a slightly different version of the usual ceremony on Sundays. It still involves the same number of guard movements and the same locations, but it’s now being called a “Parade” instead of a “Change.” There’s no word yet on how long this trial will last
• Mobile or paper ticket accepted
• One per booking
