Guide, Mr. Omar, who did not give clear and precise directions. Spoke little, òtalked only about history but gave no other indications during the trip of what to see, nor of other things in the places we stayed, like nearby restaurants or other nearby attractions. Omar was always unavailable. Then the audio guide was not working. Not only to us but to the whole group who in fact did not use it. It only worked to notify us when the tours were over and to go to the bus.

As we got a late start due to waiting for others who were late, I would have appreciated extra time at Windsor castle. We were left with 2 hours (11a-1p) to get in, see everything, and get get back to the bus as a family. This left us no time to eat during the lunch hour (we had 3 kids with us) and not enough time to see everything we wanted to see. Otherwise the tour was great, although when I booked a guided tour I assumed the guide would be with us in the castle, but I'm not upset about not having this.

Our guide, Nick & driver Errol were exceptional. Nick with his bad jokes & Errol with his terrific driving, especially through London traffic. Nick kept us up to date with what was happening during the trip & we were ushered through our ticketing programme effortlessly. The day was wonderful & we would have gone on more tours if we had more time in the country.

Your experience

A trip through time

Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Once you assemble at the designated meeting point in London, you will be taken to the castle in an air-conditioned wifi-enabled coach. Upon arrival, enjoy a leisurely 2 hours exploring the interiors and exteriors of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through the ornate State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by famous painters like Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. While you're here, make sure to visit the centenary celebrations at Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a beautiful model royal home that features electricity, running water, and working lifts!

Immerse yourself in British royalty

Next up, explore St. George’s Chapel, a church chapel where 10 former sovereigns are buried, including Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. See the memorials and spend some quiet time wandering around this traditional chapel. While the interiors of Windsor Castle hold many secrets and charm, the exteriors are just as beautiful. If you have time left, stroll down the tree-lined lane and enjoy the peace and natural beauty.
