phabric Posted April 13, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted April 13, 2012 We did the evening tour in 2010. We paid more but it was worth it, there is a limited amount of people, a live guide, champagne and souvenir book at the end. My husband was impressed that we exited through the front gate (the other tours don't do this). There are no picture taking and bathrooms are only at the end. We are going again post cruise to see the Queen's diamonds for her Diamond Jublee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting on the back porch of Buckingham Palace sipping champagne was special. Wear good walking shoes. My back was killing me by the end of the tour. The floors are marble of course and there is much standing. Enjoy your visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
