“Really enjoyed it. A bit of fiddling with the app etc first of all - I advise you do all the downloading BEFORE going to the start point as the 4G by the start point is pretty congested and it wasn't downloading. But went for a drink elsewhere, tried again, and it was perfect. Tour is a good length and right level of detail. We timed it so we got to the cascade steps just as the ferries were about to cast off, so added in a boat tour of the docks for a further £8 each. Would definitely recommend it as an initial introduction tour.”
Visit Buckingham Palace State Rooms with an audio guide, then use the Royal London app to explore St James’s Palace and more at your pace.
