Windsor Castle - The town of Windsor is best known for its historical links to the British royal family, and it is suitably steeped in pageantry and history.
Towering over the rest of the town is Windsor Castle, the ancestral home of the English and later British monarchy, and largest inhabited castle in the world.
It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years and is today one of the official residences of His Majesty The King.
Occupying over 10.5 hectares, the Castle offers a varied day out for visitors, including a visit to the magnificent State Apartments and St George’s Chapel. The Castle’s State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works from the Royal Collection, reflecting the changing tastes of the Castle’s royal occupants, particularly those of Charles II and George IV.
Many of the works of art are still in the historic settings for which they were first collected or commissioned by the kings and queens who have lived at Windsor.

The tour is very compressed, but everything is done - The driver and guide Godofredo very well, but the tour is very tight in the schedules. However, the timetable was strictly adhered to. We were satisfied but we would have liked a little more in windsor. The times allocated to each place are very short, but well, that is the tour

London Surroundings Lightning Tour - Godfrey was our guide, he was very punctual and respected everyone's time. The tour is extensive, but if you want to visit must-see places outside of London and are short on time, this is a good option.

Review - Our tour guide, Cameron, and bus driver, Michelangelo, were amazing! There was A LOT of time spent in the bus and not very much time at each spot. Our tour guide called it a “taster tour” which is exactly what it sounds like. You get a tiny taste of each of the 3 places.
If you want to spend longer than an hour or hour and a half at each spot, then it would not work well for you. We just felt a bit rushed at each spot.
In hindsight, I would have packed a cooler or sack lunch so that we didn’t waste any time buying food. I also would have brought a pillow to sleep in between spots.
The tour itself was thoroughly planned out and as mentioned above Cameron was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
I would recommend this to people without young kids or who are not super active. It was a lot of bus time.

Good package with three main sites - I would’ve rated it a five if there would’ve been an additional hour or so in Oxford. Otherwise it was a good package of some main sites. I originally had booked a tour with only Oxford and Stonehenge but that was canceled so nice that there was this alternative. However, that meant that the time was more limited at the places visited. All in all it was good and especially with the lively and entertaining guide Kevin. We also had a friendly and good driver Wardere.

Just do Windsor Castle - Too much for time allotted, stops are very brief. Also, since it is a long day, it seems inevitable that London traffic will be heavy at return time. Headset provided inadequate and audio choppy unless you are very close to the guide. Disappointing.

A little touch of West England - I enjoyed the day trip, it's a great option if you don't have a lot of time and would like to see as much as possible. But it's still 3 locations in 12 hours (for example, if you'd like to spend more time at Windsor it might not be the best idea, and very little time for lunch...). The guide emphasizes the importance of being back to the coach on time as not to delay the tour. On the way back, however, the guide insisted that we gave a 5£ tip to the driver, because "tipping is a tradition in Britain" and otherwise he'd feel he didn't do a good job. First, it's not, second, it cannot be forced into customer, third, you never state how much the tip should be. I was very unhappy with this last bit of the trip. In my culture, asking for money is very rude and actually discourages tipping.
I'd rather have payed more for the trip to ensure the driver gets a fair paycheck than to have it forced at the end of the trip. (and still, I'm sure their paycheck is better than mine).

Nice destinations - too little time! - Destinations of Windsor castle, Stonehenge and Oxford are great. However there is not enough time to give justice to any of them! Tour was done in a lot of hurry! There was no time allocated for a quick lunc!
Windsor castle was closed on Wednesday. Most (at least half) of the time was spent traveling! They should only do two destinations in a day.
Driver was excellent but we were not happy with the guide Andrew! He did not communicate properly! He Did not give clear instructions before hand that there is no time slit for lunch! Andrew never laughed, not even once and never cracked any joke! He was a bit arrogant too! Even in this day and age, He still believes that losing all the British colonies (especially India) was a terrible thing for UK! His blunt comments made several people very uncomfortable!
All in all, not a great tour for us!
