This is an excellent tour of Windsor Castle. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable and was able to get us near the front of the line. We were able to watch the changing of the guard as well as listen to the band at Windsor Castle. Overall a very memorable trip.
Windsor Castle good day trip

Our guide Leon and driver Ricardo were great. The staff at the meeting point were helpful. We experienced problems with the app and in the browser to find the meeting location. The meeting location was not close to the address given. Windsor Castle was worth the inconveniences.

Overall this tour was good and we really enjoyed our day. Our tour guide, Magnus, was really knowledge and gave us a run down on the history during the bus ride. We didn't select the lunch option, based on other reviews, and instead enjoyed some pizza just outside the castle during some free time before heading back to London. Victoria Coach Station was unorganised with many tour groups all meeting in the same area.

The tour was overall very good. our tour guide was exceptional. The lunch option however was not so much. I was understanding lunch was to be in the Windsor Castle, it was back in London at a location we had to walk to from the bus. The Pub was fine, facility clean and food good, but we only had 2 choices and I had to pay a separate $4.40 for a soda beverage. Water was the only thing free to drink. This should have been described better in the tour description.
Windsor Castle amazing tour very disorganized.

Windsor was amazing. The loading at the bus station was a little chaotic. The gentleman giving us the initial tour to Windsor was very knowledgeable and provided great information during the drive. Unloading from the bus was fine no issues there. Be aware that Windsor opens at 9:30 so you will be standing in a line waiting to go through security very similar to airport security. Once inside you will be on a self-guided tour with a audio narration. When departing The tour operator was supposed to meet us at the clock Tower at 1:00 p.m. The gentleman did not come around until 1:30 and then we were waiting on some passengers to show up that we're not there. We actually had to have someone call in to see where he was. This kind of put the rest of our day off because we had planned to go to St Paul's and the Tower of London. Because we were about an hour and a half late getting back we were only able to get to St Paul's 30 minutes before it closed. A bit disappointing. So on this day I would say don't plan much more than your Windsor tour. So my thought here overall is seeing Windsor was awesome but the tour was very disorganized.
