Stop At: Wellington Barracks
Description: Catch the soldiers preparing for the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony. While you wait, your expert guide will share what the guards' duties entail and the symbolism behind their eccentric uniforms. You'll march alongside the soldiers and head to a special vantage point that lets you get as close as possible to the action. Please Note: During inclement weather conditions, it is the decision of the Palace as to whether the Guard Change takes place or is cancelled. We will only know this on the day of the visit. If the Changing of the Guard is cancelled last minute by the Palace due to bad weather, guests will see the King's Life Guard Change, Horse Guards Parade.

Please also note that access to the panoramic viewpoint may be limited due to local events.
