Windsor Castle is well worth a visit. Loved the dolls house, the audio tour and looking at the architecture/contents of the castle. We found the emails from Headout a little confusing. Some said we needed to print off the tickets, some said to use the app. We were a bit worried that it was a scam.

We had tickets for entry at 1 pm. There was a long queue to enter and a very long queue to get into the dolls house and State apartments. We didn't enter the dolls house until 2 pm. We loved the experience and didn't linger longer than we should have in there or the State Apartments however when we went to enter the George's Chapel at 3.30 we were not allowed in as they closed early for some reason. We were so disappointed. I will follow this up if I don't hear a satisfactory response from you. It was a long anticipated outing with family after 18 months of hard cancer treatment.

Imagine that while on my bucket list trip to see Italy & visit UK & Windsor Castle at last, that my visit coincided with the 80th Anniversary celebration of the end of WW2 at Windsor Castle!! I was in awe of the historic collections of armour, battle equipment, special serving dish collections, unbelievable historic paintings & spectacular collection of rooms! Having seen St. George's Chapel on TV, it was surreal to be part of a Chapel service and to view Queen Elizabeth's & Prince Phillip's final resting place. To top that off, I was told King Charles & Princess Anne would be present at the ceremony that day...it was well worth staying the extra 3 hours to see the King inspecting the troops & hearing him speak... a magical unexpected experience that I will always remember!

Beautiful place to visit and well organised. I wish to clarify that the rude agent was in fact one of the security agent and he was not nice to other visitors as well. I understand that the crowd was big and there needs to be discipline. But one needs to maintain discipline in a respectful manner.

The ticketing experience was excellent. We loved the doll house and the history around the king's and queen's rooms, as well the paintings. However, when looking for the persons and royal families in the paintings, some weren't identified or couldn't see their name plates from under. The order or chronology of the paintings didn't seem to be wright or in order. For instances, we looked for Catarina de Bragança and couldn't find her. The chappel was very nice. We loved the guards and their band. Most off all, since we enter the castle, the staff was amising. Very nice, joifull and helpfull people! 😀

The details on the meeting point were not clear. It was assumed there was a guide but turned out that the Yeoman guide was provided by the site and there were over 200 people in the group. The tickets we purchased were therefore of no advantage to us.

The tour was supposed to return us to Victoria Station. Instead we were dumped in Kensington at the height of rush hour. My wife and I are familiar with the Underground, so other than extremely crowded cars, we managed. But some customers were using wheelchairs and walkers, and had never used the subway. This should have been stated when buying the tour.

Comfortable bus. Driver Patrick and guide Chrissie friendly and Chrissie knew a lot about all the sights. Everything was well organized. Despite not being able to go to Oxford due to a blowout on the highway. Fortunately Patrick was able to stop the bus on an emergency lane. Waiting for new transportation took time and it was too late to go to Oxford. Even so, we were still on the road for 11 hours. We were to receive a refund from the bus company. This was also arranged the same day. Too bad v Oxford, can happen and handled well and quickly.

A packed day out, starting on time and well organized from Victoria Coach Station. Richard scored with charm, wit and excellent knowledge. All in all - two of the three destinations would be completely sufficient, as otherwise it would be very stressful and there would be hardly any time to take a closer look at one or the other (e.g. @ Windsor - State Apartments and Cape Town). @ Windsor - the state apartments and the chapel can hardly be visited in the short time available - it's more like running through).

Good morning, I bought a tour to Stonehenge, Windsor and Oxford. I followed everything that was written in the app and arrived at the meeting point at 7:45 am (I even took a picture of the clock marking that time). However, the meeting point described in the app was not correct and I missed the tour. I therefore request a refund of the amount paid, as I arrived on time, but the meeting point was not the one indicated in the app. Other people also missed the tour.

Liked Stonehenge because we had time to circle the stones and not worry the coach would leave without us. No time to visit shop😢 The rest of the tour was very challenging. She walked so fast we couldn't keep up if we were delayed by foot or car traffic. Felt so rushed to get back to coach on time didn't really see Windsor castle Missed the Oxford tour as we could see the guide or hear her after we were delayed by traffic. Overall the tour was most unsatisfactory . The itinerary didn't include note about running to keep up. Sorry can t not recommend your services

Had a great experience in general. Our tour guide and driver were pleasant, knowledgeable and communicated well. Our main issue was with the instructions. When you have directions that show a picture of the front of the station and say meet here, that is where we stayed. We were not the only travelers that made that mistake. Can you just add enter here at that corner of the station and find your gate or such? We thought someone would come out and get us and line us up in one of the buses outside. Again one of your very helpful employees flagged the bus down at a stop light and we were able to get on board. Tragedy averted.

The sights were spectacular. I bought my ticket from the app, which did not make it clear that I had to buy another ticket to tour the Roman Baths, so all I did was walk around and admire the architecture of that pretty little city. More time needs to be given to the visit at Windsor Castle because I only had time to see two things: the chapel and Queen Mary's apartment.

The sites we visited were remarkable, but we didn't have enough time to enjoy them all. At Windsor Castle, we could only see the apartments and didn't have enough time to visit the dolls' house, as there were far too many people queuing up and we only had 1 hour's time on site. For stonehenge we only had an hour's stop: 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back on foot, i.e. 2 minutes and 30 seconds to admire the site. Visits to Bath, a charming city, but we ended up paying £60 for 2 even though I had already booked our tickets for the Roman baths when we booked the excursion. What's more, there was no time to take the time to eat. It would have been more correct to say that we would have taken a picnic when booking the ticket. And the audioguide could not be used in French.

Windsor Castle is well worth a visit. Loved the dolls house, the audio tour and looking at the architecture/contents of the castle. We found the emails from Headout a little confusing. Some said we needed to print off the tickets, some said to use the app. We were a bit worried that it was a scam.

Comfortable bus. Driver Patrick and guide Chrissie friendly and Chrissie knew a lot about all the sights. Everything was well organized. Despite not being able to go to Oxford due to a blowout on the highway. Fortunately Patrick was able to stop the bus on an emergency lane. Waiting for new transportation took time and it was too late to go to Oxford. Even so, we were still on the road for 11 hours. We were to receive a refund from the bus company. This was also arranged the same day. Too bad v Oxford, can happen and handled well and quickly.

Top things to do in London

Windsor Castle | Visit the largest occupied castle in the world

Set off on an exciting day tour from London and visit Windsor Castle, home to the Royals. This majestic monument offers insight into Britain's rich history. Only 40 kilometers from London, Windsor Castle allows visitors to explore its stately interiors, including St George's Chapel, the Waterloo Chamber, the China Museum, and more.

About Windsor Castle

Things to know before booking your Windsor Castle tickets

  • Types of tickets: Since Windsor Castle is a popular tourist destination, tickets are often unavailable at the venue. Pre-book your tickets to guarantee entry to the castle. You can choose between standard entry tickets or tickets with transfers from London.
  • What’s included: The entry tickets include entry to Windsor Castle, access to the State Apartments, the Semi-State Rooms (Oct to Mar), St George’s Chapel, and a multimedia audio guide in Spanish, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian.
  • Tours with transfers: Since Windsor Castle is a fair distance from London, tours with round-trip transfers in an AC coach are a great deal, saving you the hassle of figuring out travel logistics. You can either book a half-day tour from London or combine it with other towns or attractions like Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, or Oxford.
  • Guided tours: Windsor Castle is expansive, and you might miss a few highlights on the way if you’re exploring by yourself. Booking a ticket with an audioguide or a live guide will further enhance your experience, providing insights that may not be readily available. All day trips from London to Windsor Castle include an expert guide, allowing personalized commentary and a chance to get your questions answered.
  • Best time to visit: To enjoy Windsor Castle with fewer crowds, plan your visit for a weekday afternoon, ideally after the Changing of the Guard ceremony has concluded. This allows you to explore the castle at a more relaxed pace. Avoid the morning rush, particularly around 10 am, when coach tours tend to arrive. If witnessing the Changing of the Guard ceremony is a priority, plan your Windsor Castle visit to coincide with the event. While this period will be busier, especially during peak season, the spectacle is a must-see. To minimize further crowding, consider exploring the castle's interiors after the ceremony concludes, and aim to avoid the peak coach arrival time of 10 am.
  • Cancellation policy: You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.
  • Discounted tickets: Children under 5 years of age go free.
