About this experience

Tickety Boo Tours, where everything is jolly good fun.

What sets us apart is its front-row access to London’s ceremonial heart.

We don’t just point at landmarks — we position you exactly where royal tradition, military precision and political history come together along one of the city’s most historic streets. With expert storytelling and careful timing, you experience the atmosphere as it unfolds around you, not from a distance.

On selected days, you’ll witness iconic ceremonial moments in real time, adding a sense of theatre and anticipation that makes each tour slightly different. We end in a traditional pub for a well-earned drink, giving you time to relax and reflect.

It’s immersive, well-paced and unmistakably London — history done properly. Tickety Boo.
