Traveler reviews
Windsor castle tour
Windsor is a wonderful place. So very beautiful. Mark, our guide, pointed out so many landmarks as we rode thru London. This is a great tour. Bus was very nice and the a/c worked well!
Mark and the bus driver...
Mark and the bus driver were fabulous. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We had 3 people who missed our time for leaving and Mark was very upset and he and the bus driver patiently waited as well as looked to them in Westminster. They waited for at least 20 minutes for them and then made sure other drivers had room for them if they showed up. From what we heard they didn’t show for the last busses there. They left a package on the our bus and Mark was very conscientious about ensuring their items were returned them.
Wonderful Experience
We loved our tour to Windsor castle and Hampton court palace! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we got to see a little bit of London on the way. We felt like there was more than enough time at both locations, and we were able to see exactly what we wanted to. We would definitely book this tour again!
It was just a bus ride to Windsor.
It was a nice bus we rode on to Windsor.. but really I wish we had just taken the train. Then we could have stayed longer. ALSO -- the Henry VII's Hampton Court part of the day was cancelled. They did not/ have not yet refunded that portion of the cost. Had we gotten to go on to Henry's Court it might have been more worth taking this tour instead of the train.
Historical
Experience did not disappoint. Seeng history up close and personal is amazing. If you enjoy history, make sure to see these two castles.
