This is the best way to see Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace if you’re staying in London. Can’t beat the cost and convenance. Our tour guide Zou Zou (spelling?) was the absolute best! So knowledgeable and interesting. The pick up point is perfect…you can take the tube on anywhere in London.

Great driver; did a great job maneuvering the streets of London before heading to our destination. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and made it very interesting along the way. Would recommend this tour. Would like to have had more time at each of the two destinations (even though it was a full day excursion) because there is so much to see and learn at each of the places.

The guide, Zulu, was informative and entertaining. Pointed out sites along the bus routes to locations as well as plenty of history. Gave plenty of time to self pace both Windsor castle and Hampton court.
