Castle Tour Letdown

Philip_R, Oct 2025

I would not recommend this tour. I believe the “Private Tour” description was very misleading. The only thing private was the drive to the castle which in itself, was fantastic. The driver was very friendly and informative. Upon arriving at the castle it was no longer private. We were on our own to wander around with several thousand other tourists. I was expecting for the price, a guide with a private tour and maybe some behind the scenes portions of the castle. The castle and the grounds were very beautiful but this tour was way overpriced. This should have been valued at maybe $200-$300. We paid over $800 for two. I would not do this again and I now have my doubts about future booking with Viator.

Good trip but realize it is a self-guided tour unless you pay more

ThomasD_D, Oct 2025

Kalum was a good driver but needs to speak up more so folks in the back seat can hear. Windsor Castle was beautiful, but we didn't see St. Georges because it was a Sunday. He also didn't seem to know we were supposed to go by Eton College.

Windsor Castle is great, BUT

Natalie_S, Sep 2024

Windsor Castle itself was amazing, but read the fine details of the “tour”. We were picked up at our hotel by a private driver. He was nice, drove a very nice car, and we enjoyed chatting with him on the one hour ride to the castle. We arrived at the castle and were dropped off, were told that guides aren’t allowed inside. We were met with very long lines. We showed a guard our tickets and asked which line to be in. He said the time on our ticket was for 12pm, so we couldn’t enter before that. That means we’d have to wait 3 hours to enter, but our driver would be back to pick us up at noon. I messaged Viator and then called me almost immediately to let me know that we had some sort of Golden ticket that would allow us to enter at any time. We were then allowed to skip the line completely and enter immediately. My frustration lies in the fact that there were too many people involved in the process that led to confusion on our part. Lots of details get lost in communication. Had we waited in that long line and then found out we had fast pass tickets, that would’ve been more frustrating. In summary, we were paying a private driver for driving us (1 hour each way) and then he was just waiting for us somewhere for 3 hours. I definitely recommend visiting this castle, but find a better way to arrive and just use the audio guide provided with your entry ticket to educate you on your castle tour. The nearby village looked charming and we would have loved to have had time to explore the area longer.

Thank you for taking out the time to write this review. The pass we provided had an all day anytime entry, and they did allow you in straight away through fast track. It is not our fault that you went to the wrong line, we told you to go to the prepaid entrance which you did not, even the driver explained to you the whole procedure, yet you chose to ignore his advice. You cannot hold us responsible for that.

Windsor Castle Visit

Julie_S, Dec 2023

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

Therese_T, Sep 2023

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

Cynthia_A, Aug 2022

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.
