Windsor Castle Visit - Driver friendly and right on time at both pick up at hotel and the castle. Very nice experience. We toured the apartments on our own and saw changing of the guard and were able to visit the chapel.

Turned Out Great - This tour did not turn out as planned due to miscommunication by Viator. Our driver, Kalam, was so very apologetic and provided us with alternative suggestions for our tour. While I am sure we would have enjoyed the original tour, we chose one of the suggestions of our guide and visited Hampton Palace instead. It was lemonade out of lemons! What an fascinating and incredible palace it turned out to be. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, as well as the drive through the area on our way to and from it. Kalam was nothing short of terrific!

Our Windsor Experience - We had a great driver. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. We had a great drop off and viewed the Castle and surrounding Town. He promptly returned to us for our ride back to London. It was the best day of our trip.
