It was very well organized, with an early departure and a later return so we could make the most of the tour. Our guide was very kind and friendly. His explanations were clear.

The castle was a lot of fun with beautiful views. The que at the North Terrace was very long. It was too cold and windy to leave visitors standing outside for more than an hour, but we stood there anyway. Photography was forbidden in the castle. That was a big disappointment. We would have appreciated more information from Headout as we have never traveled by rail.

I really enjoyed the trip, and the team was very kind, but I didn't expect both the guide and the brochures to be only in English. It would have been great if I could have understood the history and other details about Windsor Castle through the tour guide.
