Windsor Castle Admission Ticket

Jordan_C, Apr 2026

Wonderful Windsor

Simple ticket collection and access to the castle. I arrived 30 mins before my selected time and no problem. was given my ticket and off I went. It wasn’t too busy for a Sunday and only a short queue to visit the dolls house and state rooms - wow it was very good and the audio self guided tour was really informative

Southampton: Post-Cruise Tour to London via Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor

Shelly_Z, Mar 2026

Worth the money!

Independent Friends (the company name) picks you up right from the cruise port and takes you to Salisbury Cathedral. We did not go into the actual church. One person actually purchased a ticket and went in quickly. We had 30 minutes here. Then off to Stonehenge. As a group we decided to take just about 75 minutes at Stonehenge so we could spend more time at Windsor Castle. We arrived at Windsor Castle around 1:15 and then had to be back at the bus by 4:00. The guide (we had Salvador) gives you info on each place on the bus. He lets you wander on your own but is there to answer any questions or take pictures. I downloaded the free app for a Stonehenge “tour”. Windsor Castle has an audio tour in many languages that comes with the entrance fee. This trip was roughy $250 per person- a bargain for being picked up at the cruise ship terminal, luggage taken care of, transportation to all places, entrance fees to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle and then they drop you off at your hotel in London (we were staying Heathrow). Great tour! Great tour guide - Salvador and driver -Kieran.

Oxford University Walking Tour With University Alumni Guide

Oxford University Tour

We enjoyed this tour of the university with Sam Day. We passed by several key spots within the city centre, and Sam kept us engaged with information about Oxford generally, as well as stories about notable alumni and professors, and British history generally - even our teens enjoyed it. He was also great with pace and questions. Thanks again Sam!

We had a fantastic experience! the entire team was incredible. Despite us arriving late due to a train delay, they were so accommodating and made sure we didn't miss out, which we really appreciated! Our guide Valentine was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and especially great with the kids! She brought the tour to life in a fun and interactive way. Gabi at the reception was also fantastic- Welcoming, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend- 10/10!

Extended: Oxford University & City Tour With Christ Church

Laura_P, Feb 2026

A Truly Outstanding Oxford Walking Tour

We had an outstanding three-hour walking tour of Oxford University with Riccardo. He recently completed his PhD in medieval history, and both his academic expertise and his experience as an Oxford student brought incredible depth and authenticity to the tour. His knowledge of the university’s medieval foundations, traditions, and evolution was fascinating. He didn’t just share facts — he provided context, perspective, and stories that made the history feel alive and relevant. We learned so much, and the three hours flew by. Riccardo was engaging, articulate, and clearly passionate about his subject. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a meaningful and memorable introduction to Oxford.

Southampton to London via Cotswold Villages, Oxford & Pub Lunch

nanchichou, Oct 2025

A very time efficient way to tour interesting places on the way from Southampton back to London

This small-group tour by minibus was very efficient and comfortable — a great way to see more in a limited time. I only wish we could have spent a few extra minutes at each stop, though it’s understandable that some travelers needed to reach Heathrow by a specific time. Our guide, Marek, was outstanding — clearly well-prepared and very knowledgeable. He shared interesting insights throughout the journey and even sent us photos from the trip afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our driver, Haleskey, was excellent as well — attentive, professional, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Overall, a well-organized, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Oxford Sightseeing River Cruise Along The University Regatta Course

Lynn_B, Oct 2025

The Head of the River

Our guide had lots of interesting stories and personal experiences on the rivers in and around Oxford which made it both informative & entertaining. (Forgot his name: 2:15 Tuesday ,9/30) . I’d recommend to anyone who likes a breeze in their hair and interested about the boating life over the history of the English countryside.

Stonehenge Tour from Southampton to London

Karri_B, Sep 2025

Our guide was very nice...

Our guide was very nice and cheerful. The drive to Stonehenge was a bit long and the guide didn’t talk all the way. Once to Stonehenge she walked around with us and gave great insights. Our driver was great, but we felt bad; the luggage was heavy and he had to carry 2 walkers and a wheelchair onto the bus. Please be sure to tip well!

Transfer from London Heathrow to hotel in Southampton with stop in Stonehendgr

This was a perfect choice for us who flew into London Heathrow to get to Southampton to join a cruise. The stop at Stonehenge was just enough of a side trip after an overseas flight to start up our vacation. Our driver was very friendly and met us inside.

Private Transfer : Southampton Cruise Port to London Via Windsor Castle

Katelyn_W, Jun 2025

Exceptional!

The drive to Windsor was lovely and the allotted time at the castle was wonderful! We spent nearly the full 3 hours walking through the castle and town. Our driver even stopped for a cute little photo of us at a nearby park with swans. Our driver was exceptional! She was so kind & we had great conversations, she provided us with a lot of recommendations which we were grateful for! Definitely would book again!
