The tour was overall very... - The tour was overall very good. our tour guide was exceptional. The lunch option however was not so much. I was understanding lunch was to be in the Windsor Castle, it was back in London at a location we had to walk to from the bus. The Pub was fine, facility clean and food good, but we only had 2 choices and I had to pay a separate $4.40 for a soda beverage. Water was the only thing free to drink. This should have been described better in the tour description.

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath - It was such a wonderful day. The weather was perfect and Steve our tour guide was funny and incredibly knowledgeable! I would do this tour again and recommend it to anyone who has a day where they are happy to leave London and explore other places in the UK. Will not be disappointed

Great Windsor Castle tour! - Good half day at Windsor. Trip was complete as promised and provides the means to visit Windsor Castle without going to other sites in the area. Guide was very helpful and made sure everyone was informed about making the connection with the driver for the return trip. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the station area outside of the Castle. Amazing furnishings and artwork inside the castle itself. Queen Mary's dollhouse and all of the associated miniatures were impressive. Would definitely recommend.

Interesting - Overall this tour was good and we really enjoyed our day. Our tour guide, Magnus, was really knowledge and gave us a run down on the history during the bus ride. We didn't select the lunch option, based on other reviews, and instead enjoyed some pizza just outside the castle during some free time before heading back to London. Victoria Coach Station was unorganised with many tour groups all meeting in the same area.

Disappointed - It was a mess at the bus station waiting for our coach. The waiting area was packed and no place to sit. No one could provide us any information about when the coach would arrive. Mass confusion for everyone waiting.
The bus ride from London to Windsor is tedious, so much traffic, and the same for returning.
Even though we were a group, the line to enter the castle was blocks long. More standing in line to wait. There’s a lot of walking involved and lots of steps once you’re finally on the castle grounds.
I would not recommend this day trip.

Windsor Castle amazing tour very disorganized. - Windsor was amazing. The loading at the bus station was a little chaotic. The gentleman giving us the initial tour to Windsor was very knowledgeable and provided great information during the drive. Unloading from the bus was fine no issues there. Be aware that Windsor opens at 9:30 so you will be standing in a line waiting to go through security very similar to airport security. Once inside you will be on a self-guided tour with a audio narration. When departing The tour operator was supposed to meet us at the clock Tower at 1:00 p.m. The gentleman did not come around until 1:30 and then we were waiting on some passengers to show up that we're not there. We actually had to have someone call in to see where he was. This kind of put the rest of our day off because we had planned to go to St Paul's and the Tower of London. Because we were about an hour and a half late getting back we were only able to get to St Paul's 30 minutes before it closed. A bit disappointing. So on this day I would say don't plan much more than your Windsor tour. So my thought here overall is seeing Windsor was awesome but the tour was very disorganized.

Windsor tour with lunch was not what I expected . - The guide was excellent snd informative. However the actual trip was very confusing as there were 3 different trips on the same bus. Windsor with lunch gave tour a voucher for lunch in London not Windsor. We should have been informed of the long wait to get in to Windsor.
It was not what I expected and the experience was not worth $150.00.
