The atmosphere here felt great. There was a "Changing of the Guard" at Windsor which was a pleasure to watch. Our audio tour of Windsor Castle was really good and it was good to connect to the history.
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!

The imposing castle, its gardens, the view, all very well organized and coordinated visits to internal sectors, impeccable staff, friendly, it is a great experience.

Smooth service from Headout. Easy collection of vouchers at The Castle and fantastic tour (with complimentary headphones - brilliant information about each room)
The exchange of the voucher for the tickets went smoothly. The subsequent check-in did not take long, as the counters were very well staffed.

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! 😀
Castle tour done via audio guide: beautiful insights and guided tour done with logical sense. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Before entering the Castle there was a changing of the guard ceremony that exited the Castle and marched through town with their band playing. Ticket exchange went very smoothly and before you knew it you were inside the Castle grounds. We had been many years ago and had to rush round but this time was different. The Staterooms , still used today , were breathtaking as were all the different areas in the Castle buildings. Another highlight was visiting St George's chapel where we viewed the resting place of our late Queen and Prince Phillip. All in all a great day.
Due to us travelling during an off peak time meant it was not very crowded. The audio and head phones added significantly to the experience. We were able to skip uninteresting parts, but we could also replay information that was interesting.
The amazing restoration at the castle post the devasting fire that had been done in the timescales it just shows you what can be done if you believe.
It was easy to book the tickets, the castle was beautiful and easily accessible. The directions were clear and we had audio guided tours for the full experience. Definitely recommended.
Seeing the Dolls House for the first time. Bit of confusion with the tickets. Other people got access to the castle for the rest of the year. We didn't because of the type of ticket we had purchased.
The castle grounds are typical of ancient kingdoms: sumptuous and huge. Can you believe you can't photograph anything? All the beauty for the king alone! Compared to Versailles as a 10, Windson is an 8! And at Versailles you can photograph everything! The train to Windson is very comfortable and is fast and direct, point to point!

Very pleasant outward and return journey, friendly and attentive driver. Pick-ups and drop-offs were on time. We had 3 hours to visit Windsor, and we were very satisfied with this activity.

The issue we had was being dropped off 40 minute from our hotel. Were we took it was walking distance and due to this we had to incur the taxi charge. Also the bus had no leg room
Punctuality, visit full of interesting accounts of the lives of the British royals, a thank you to the 'driver who was very good both in driving and in illustrating and guiding us to the tour of the castle

It was much better than ticketing and boarding the Virgin Atlantic flight the next day! We really enjoyed the tour of the palace but would have liked to take photographs.
Nice visit, well organized, the weather was pleasant.

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.
Having been picked up at the designated meeting point we were NOT dropped off at the same location. We had to catch two trains to return to our hotel. Not very professional at all. Very disappointing.
We had a wonderful time and the half day trip to Windsor Castle was defenitley worth it! If you are thinking about going, do it! Our guide Ava and driver Trisha were excellent! The bus was very nice and clean, and pick up was a breeze. There was plenty of room on the bus as the entire group size ended up only being about 20 people, which was nice! Trisha was an excellent driver and very nice! Ava was fantastic and talked about some of the history of the castle and royalty on the ride up. Ava walked us up to the castle and gave us our wristbands for entry. She gave great instructions on how to get back to the bus after as well. After going through quick security, We got there just in time to see the changing of the guard. We had plenty of time to see the State Apartments & St.George Chapel (we skipped the dollhouse) & then grabbed some coffee and did some shopping before heading back to the bus. Only a few times/rooms throughout the tour did it feel busy/crowded, so it was nice to take our time and see everything without having to wait on people/room to move around. We were dropped back off at our pickup point after. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting London and has never been to Windsor before.
An unforgettable experience! We booked the tour from London to Windsor Castle and were absolutely thrilled. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The tour guide/coach driver was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and provided us with exciting information. The journey was pleasant and the coach was modern and comfortable. We had plenty of time to explore the majestic rooms of the castle and visit the impressive St George's Chapel. At least from the outside, as we didn't know it was closed on Sundays. We were particularly impressed by the splendor of the State Apartments - the architecture and artwork are simply breathtaking. The timing of the tour was ideal: we had enough time to see everything at our leisure without feeling rushed, and we were back in London in good time. The stress-free process was also a big plus - no queues, no organizational problems. Everything ran like clockwork. I can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a special piece of British history. It was a highlight of our stay in London and we would do it again any time! 5 out of 5 stars!

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.

A full day of interesting historical commentary by Kevin as we toured Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath. Jody our driver was excellent and cheerful. Booking was so easy and convenient to have the tickets on my iPhone wallet.
Everything went smooth. I would have liked more time in Windsor. I was not given the option when I p urchased the trip for the Roman Bath tour.
VERY WELL ORGANIZED TRIP WITH ON TIME DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL. OUR TOUR GUIDE PHIL WAS EXCELLENT AND PROVIDED THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AND A VERY PLEASANT WAY. oUR DRIVER SAM DESERVES A "WELL DONE" SHOUT OUT FOR RESPONSIBLE DRIVING AND PROFESSIONALITY.
Windsor Castle and Stonehenge were excellent. But very disappointed at Bath as unable to see the baths . Many tourists from the same same tour in our bus were able to book tickets to enter the baths and it was included . But our booking on the same day with same tour did not offer it at booking . So while they went off to see the baths we were left on our own without guide to do our own thing . No tickets were even available to buy . Not happy at all and spoilt it for me . Why was it not offered to all the tour ? Missed out !
Tour guide Simon did a fantastic job! Funny and punctual.

The overall tour was good how ever the guide we had was terrible. Kevin left us at the Windsor castle he left early without realising he left 4 of us stranded at the castle. We reached on time as asked by him to meet. Then the support team asked us to go back to London or reach Stonehenge on our own. This was pathetic never had such experience in tour before. Luckily another bus of the same company helped us , the tour guide made efforts to accommodate 4 of us by offering his seat to us and made our tour complete. Can't stop thanking James tour Guide for helping us out of the way. This was highly unprofessional on part of Kevin and the company for not helping us at all when needed the most. I would not recommend to book a tour who has such guides.

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.

Ana the tour guide and Gary the bus driver were great. Gary kept us all on time to the different location. Ana's wealth of historical information made the trip exciting. Ana spoke both in Spanish and English to keep the participants engaged throughout the day. Ana added in humor and made us laugh. She is a gem. I would certainly go on another tour with Anna and Gary!
The tour attractions didn't disappoint and Chrissy was an AMAZING and FUN TOUR GUIDE!!!!
Time management and an engaging tourist guide
Stonehenge!! And our wonderful guide Omar.
Pablo was great!! Mike was a great driver, very conscientious and safe.
We had a great day on the day trip to Oxford, Windsor castel and Stonhenge!
The place had good shuttle buses and good organisation. Unfortunately we had really a little time to enjoy it :(
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
Beautiful locations, symbols of British history ,the only flaw the too much hurry in the timing, I would have preferred to know how to do just Stonehage and Windsor and spend more time in these places

It was a very good experience, the transportation was excellent. Robert was an excellent guide, very cordial, even told us during the trip a lot of information about the places we were passing through, all very well organized and synchronized. It would have been nice to spend more time in Windsor because it is worth it, but it is understandable that the times are according to the development of the day, I recommend it!

My tour was on Monday, Jan 6th. Our giude was Kevin. He was amazing! Very professional and very nice! And everything else in general was amazing, but Kevin deserves the most awesome reviews...he is the best!
the trip was well organized, the guide Kevin was very nice and friendly and told a lot about the history of England and the places visited. It was a great trip
Our guide Seúl was amazing, he did an awesome Job, he deserves a 10. The visit was also very nice, i recomend it.
The sense of humor of the tourist guide. He was kind, symphatic.
too much was inlcuded in one day - windsor castle was too much of a rush, Stonhenge was fine and Oxford Walking tour was a joke - totally dark and insufficient time to see anything much. the guide had to operate in English and spanish which delayed the tour as one language would have left more time to actually see the places we had paid to see. Overall an unimpressive day with the exception of Stonehenge.
