Visiting Buckingham Palace was an unforgettable experience. The palace is absolutely stunning, with beautiful architecture, and a fascinating history. The State Rooms were magnificent, and every room was filled with incredible artwork and royal treasures. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and well organised, making the visit enjoyable from start to finish. The audio guide was informative and easy to follow, providing interesting insights into the history of the British Royal Family. Everything was well managed, and despite the number of visitors, it never felt overcrowded. I would highly recommend Buckingham Palace to anyone visiting London. It is a truly iconic attraction and well worth the visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Buckingham Palace. The whole place is very well secured, so you always feel safe. At the entrance, we picked up the free audio guides, which led us through every room and made the experience even more enjoyable (I highly recommend getting one). What will stay with me the most is the realization that you’re walking on the same floors and looking at the same things that the Queen, the King, and so many other famous people have seen before you. It truly made the visit feel special and unforgettable. Unfortunately you can't take any pictures with your phone.

The tour was superb the staff from the moment we arrived were friendly, courteous, enthusiastic, proud to be helping us and proud to be working at the palace. Visiting inside the palace state rooms was an immense pleasure and seeing where our Royal Family walk/work it was truly an honour. The Art work the designs everything was fabulous if Crown would open more rooms again I will be back for sure. Proud to be British and have our Royal Family (warts and all) what family does not have any? Long may they reign over us 💞

Everything went very smoothly: we printed our tickets at the ticket office without any problems, and then they let us in 10 minutes before our reservation time. We just had to wait a little while to go through the bag check: you can bring a small backpack or bag, but it must be carried on your shoulder. The rooms were beautiful—it’s just a shame it got a little hot at times. After the tour, you reach the exit via a lovely walk in the shade through the palace gardens. Definitely recommended!

Really well set out and so lovely to see such beautiful clothes worn by Queen Elizabeth II. Lots of information to read and also a headset in various languages. You can take photographs as long as you do not use the flash. The air conditioning was very welcome in a heatwave. We were allowed to take water in which was good and when our bags were checked we were asked to take a drink of our water in front of the security officer. Staff were polite, helpful and professional. Well worth the money.

What a spectacular and exquisite place to visit. Loved walking in the path where Queens and kings have walked a Royal children have played. Could hear their giggles running up and down that magnificent staircase. Will be a memory I will hold forever.

What a wonderful exhibition—it should be turned into a museum! The staff was incredibly kind, and there were no issues redeeming the voucher. What can I say? It was like taking a dive into history and seeing it right there...

It was really lovely and impressive. It was also nice to be led outside through the beautiful garden. The visit was well worth it for us.
