Was nice to see but not worth the money. Two hours on the bus for less then2 hours at Windsor. Plus, the drive, although he was nice, rushed from the bus to the ticket booth and the group had trouble staying together.

We were short on time and booked in at the last minute, and this tour fulfilled all our expectations of a simple tour of Windsor Castle. Our driver Andrew was entertaining and considerate of our needs.

Great experience. A must to do, and Buckingham Palace too. Very clean and elegant. History at its finest.

Tour was good, directions to pickup not so much. Our driver was fantastic. My wife especially enjoyed it as she’s a monarchy follower.
