100% recommendation - Tish is the best! She is so personable and knowledgeable! Very accommodating for ADA needs as well. We had a little hiccup with the bus breaking down, but somehow she made it work out. We ended our day at the cathedral which worked out because we got to hear the choir practice for mass. It was beautiful.

It's OK - I cannot fault Golden Tours for their service when I needed to reschedule my booking last minute. They responded quickly to my emails and provided me with new e-tickets the same day. The tour itself was ok. At the start of our tour, we ended up circling back around to our pick-up point, which wasn't part of the route and wasted time. Timings for pick-ups at various stops were not consistent with the advertised schedule. To be honest, we had a better time exploring the sights by foot as everything is near to each other.

Only OK - Short tour of Eton and Windsor. Some interesting commentary but the route is very walkable for healthy adults. The bus route map was not accurate ( it didn't stop at the Windsor Castle public house on kings road but actually well before it) and timings were not updated to account for changing of the guard times and road works. Live timings or similar would make for a much better experience.

Trip ruined by "guide" on the microphone - This trip was completely ruined by the "Guide" on the microphone. Why on earth do you have Mike who knows absolutely nothing about Windsor, on a tour bus making inane comments and being embarrassingly unfunny? He even admitted he didn't know anything as he is normally in London! There is a perfectly adequate commentary that you can listen to via the headphones, however, this was completely inaudible because of the moronic comments on the microphone which drowned out the headphones, such as "we're just passing a Londis" and "there's a swan on the river" and " they even do wheelies in Eton". He had no clue about the history, the buildings or anything that we passed. Leave him off, and just let the audible commentary be listened to, that would make for a far more money worthy and enjoyable trip.

Shoddy Service - We had firstly the boat trip which was OK then after checking the schedule we walked up to Stop 4 to get the Hop On--Hop Off Bus at approximately 1345 hrs. as the bus wasn't due till 2 minutes past the hour---We waited & WAITED and the bus appeared at 1442 hrs (AN HOUR AFTER WE ARRIVED AT THE STOP) On speaking to the driver, he said he was on time at 1442 hrs---We found out he takes short cuts and doesn't bother with stops 2 & 3---What sort of company is this?---Pretty disgusting service we certainly won't be recommending to friends when they come across from the US.

Waste of money - We came Windsor on a day trip & having a bad knee decided to use the tour bus. Having used other hop on, hop off buses in other cities thought this would be a good one. Our experience was very dissapointing. We were told the last bus was at 5 by ticket operator & run every 30 mins, but this is not true, they only run 1 an hour. We paid £50 for 2 people for bus & boat, bought at 1pm. Our first route on the bus, it broke down at the 7th stop. We were not offered anything or advised there would be no more buses running when got off at 2.30pm. We thought we would walk to another stop & wait for another bus. Waited 45 mins nothing turned up. Logged onto companies website chat to be told there were no more buses running that day at 3.30. Paid £25 to sit on a bus for 15mins. Waste of money!!
