I would give this five stars, if it...

kianna.o, Nov 2017

I would give this five stars, if it weren't for the Windsor Castle Tour bit, but I'll get to that. Josh was our guide for the Best of Royal London portion of the tour and he was stellar. Very informative and funny, as well! The beat the line first dibs on Tower of London was amazing go see the Crown Jewels first, because the crowd builds up quickly for that. I loved that we walked, it really gave you the opportunity to appreciate London, particularly St. James' Park, it was beautiful. It only drizzled at the beginning, nothing a hood on your jacket couldn't solve. I would recommend using the restroom on the water taxi that you take down the River Thames, there aren't frequent bathroom stops. The only portion of this trip that left a bad taste in my mouth was the small-group Windsor Castle Tour. We had trouble finding Waterloo Train Station which is up the stairs from the Waterloo Tube Station. The guide just did not seem like she wanted to be there. I don't remember her name. She got us onto a train, didn't talk to us very much. She walked us to Windsor Castle, got us tickets, in the door, failing to tell us that we only had TWO HOURS to see the entire castle before closing. And that was it. She left us there and definitely did not get a tip. It was disappointing to go from a guide as incredible as Josh to someone who actually did not care, like this woman. Best of Royal London gets five stars. Windsor Castle Tour gets one star, because of the guide.

One of favorite tours we took while in London. Allot of variety in this half day tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and tour was well paced and timed to see changing of the guard. We followed this tour with an afternoon tour to Windsor Castle. Best day of our five days in London! We had same excellent guide for both tours.

I enjoyed this tour from start to end. The guides were awesome. They were knowledgeable about all things royal and engaged the group with historical and fun facts. Windsor is simply amazing. It was my first time there and had a great time surrounded by the opulence of impressive treasures and art pieces.
