We had a great guide in Mark! He knew great photo spots and extra bits of info about Windsor. Travel to and from was all taken care of for us from hotel and back

Mark is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. He greeted us at our hotel in a beautiful Mercedes and our drive to Windsor Castle was most enjoyable. Once we arrived at the castle he led us to the various points of interest and provided expert commentary. Upon the conclusion of our visit to the castle he led us through the charming Windsor High Street back to the car for our return to our hotel. Could not have been better! 🥳🥳🥳

We had a fantastic guided tour that started with our driver/guide Gareth picking us up from our Airbnb. Gareth is extremely professional and personable. The tour of the chapel, state apartments and the grounds was amazing. Gareth was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us at a pace that was sensitive to one of our family member’s mobility challenges. This guided tour was the highlight of our stay in London.

Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful and the private transportation was essential given the crowds. We saw all the highlights and had a nice lunch in town. Only negative was we invited our guide to join us for lunch and he started talking politics with us … ugh .., we travelled to get away from that. Anyway we nodded and ignored him. Otherwise a great day.

Gareth our tour driver and guide arrived early and patiently waited for us.
Gareth provided excellent information and had an excellent knowledge of all things.
He was extremely helpful and very friendly and explained many things on the journey.
At the castle he guided us through each section and was able to point out specific. Things we would have missed. He was extremely helpful and patient with my husband who struggled with the walking around the castle. Gareth was very good and waited with us for rest breaks. An absolutely great day out and an excellent tour guide.

Great experience with Gareth touring Windsor Castle. He was very knowledgeable and insightful regarding the castle, and took the time to explain everything we inquired about. It was a wonderful experience for me, my wife, and two children, ages 10 & 12.

Excellent tour by Gareth! Starting with a seamless pickup at our hotel and an educational ride to Windsor…Gareth was an excellent host for the day.

Phenomenal Tour! Mark was an absolute delight! He took his time with my mother in law, pointing out all the historical tidbits, the great background and keen knowledge of English history. Loved it! Don't miss looking Mark up!

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Mark is an amazing driver and guide. He is very knowledgeable. He was great with my 17y.o. and 15y.o. He answered all of our questions and really brought the castle to life. I would highly recommend this tour. We look forward to visiting England again and having Mark as our guide on future adventures.
