no guide
There was no guide on the bus and the driver did not speak English well. We were not prepared in any way for our tour, we shouldhave just taken the train to Windsor Castle. The bus was full and I could not sit with my family. Viator she refund my money.

Sister Trip to UK
Golden Tours is and excellent tour group in London. We did the Tower of London with hop on and hop off bus. We also did the Windsor trip. Our driver/guide Kee was extremely helpful getting us into Windsor and giving us landmarks to find the bus. The tour ended close to Harrods

Do this tour in fall or...
Do this tour in fall or winter time as it is too hot inside and out of the castle. Not enough time to linger and visit some shops outside of the castle.
