Definitely. One of the best experiences I have ever had. But remember NOT to cross the rail. A lady tried to cross the rail to get to another seat when I was there. The guard was facing away with his back to the lady. Man had eyes in the back of his head. He spun on a dime, changed his rifle from parade rest to ready rest (I think thats how you call it when moved from shoulder to a two handed grip), and with utmost authority said, "Mam, please return behind the guard rail immediately"
Was awe inspiring. And the changing of the guard was even better.
