The Changing of the Guard will take place each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday until further notice.
Your tour ends at approximately 4:30 PM at the Tower of London. On days when St Paul’s opens later, the tour will finish at the London Eye instead.
On Sunday due to Church services, there is no guiding inside St Paul’s Cathedral.
No-show and latecomers will be charged in full.
We always stop for photos at Buckingham Palace, unless security or safety issues prevent this. The area often gets very crowded so on days when there is no Guard Change we stop here early in order to get best photos.
NB Changing of the Guard ceremony does not take place every day and is also subject to weather conditions. It may occasionally be possible to see the Horse Guards but this is subject to daily operational viability.
Signature Tour Option: Take advantage of the best views on the bus with our premium seating option and a knowledgeable live guide. Plus, enjoy a lunch pack. You will have access to St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, the London Eye, and a Thames River Cruise, giving you a complete and immersive experience.

Amazing London tour!!
Zozo (tour guide) and Mareno (driver) were exceptional. Zozo was so knowledgeable and explained everything. He was very patient with our group and provided the most memorable day in London. If you do any tour, you have to add this to your list. Definitely worth the time and cost.

Great day tour to see essential London
We had a wonderful day & experience with the Total London Experience Tour. Morten our guide and Lucian our driver made the day extra memorable, taking care of every detail of our day. We had a very short amount of time in London & this was the perfect way to make the most & get the most experiences. We purchased the tickets with all entries included, but a few on our tour did not. Morten kindly directed them to other activities in the area. The tour ran beautifully on time & ended at the incredible Tower of London.
Operator response
We are delighted to hear you had such a wonderful day exploring London! It is fantastic to know that Morten and Lucian made your experience memorable and helped you make the most of your time in the city. We will be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to them. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another Golden Tours adventure soon!

Mark was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and informative. Tour was great, seeing the sites of Buckingham Palace and Tower of London. My only suggestion is to have better directions for the meeting point ie: landmarks, intersections.
