Tish made our trip awesome. - Tish is an amazing tour guide. She is so knowledgeable and such a great speaker, we learned so much about the places we passed on the way and about our destinations. She is super organised and did her utmost to ensure everybody's needs were met. We were very well looked after. The driver was also friendly, polite and welcoming and needs a medal for navigating the London traffic. Golden Tours is lucky to have you both and I hope that is reflected in your pay packets.

Well paced, informative tour - Guide Kish and driver Koli were both excellent in their respective jobs. Kish was a non stop font of info on London neighborhoods we traveled through enroute, the history of both stops and their resident royals, and was very conscientious about keeping us on time and affording us adequate time to explore the sites with the free time we were allotted. Great itinerary and great job!

Fantastic day - I have wanted to see Hampton Court Palace for years so this was a fantastic day for me. Our tour guide, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and the bus driver was impressive maneuvering through the London traffic. Windsor was beautiful. Would recommend this tour!

Crowds and warm temperatures made journey uncomfortable - Morton was our guide and he was very good and personable. I had been to both Hampton Court and Windsor Castle before, but husband was seeing them for the first time. Unfortunately, Royal Chapel at Hampton Court was closed and I missed the actors playing Henry and his wives who were there last time. Windsor was fine although completely mobbed. Our bus was also packed and I didn't appreciate the "gentleman" in front of me who reclined his seat for the entire trip. Bus seats are too small.

Great except for drop off - This was a very wonderful tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and cheerful! The palaces were even more amazing than I expected! The only negative was that we were not dropped off at our pick up spot, which was promised on our tickets.

Two Castles in one day! - This is a very good tour. Saw everything at both Hampton Court palace and at Windsor Castle (including St George's Chapel) all in one day. So much to see & do at each place! But I wish that it had been less self-guided w audio guide & more w our knowledgeable tour guide FIA.
