C'était très bien organisé avec un départ anticipé et un retour retardé pour mieux profiter de la visite. Notre guide était très aimable et sympathique. Ses explications étaient claires.

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.

Make the most of your time and experience Windsor Castle’s grandeur in under 6 hours with seamless London transfers onboard an AC coach or train.

Enjoy onboard comfort with spacious seating and climate control on your AC coach, perfect for unwinding before and after your castle visit.

Step inside Windsor Castle, the world's largest occupied castle, and admire the architecture and the Royal Collection's treasures within the State Apartments.

Guide pas très sympa son anglais a été difficile à comprendre et il nous a fait descendre du bus loin du point de départ sans aucune explications. Par contre le bus était très confortable et les billets ont très bien fonctionné

One very important detail: you’re asking people to meet at Paddington Station at 8:50 a.m., even though they can’t make it
