Palace of the Royal Residence of the British Monarch - I loved walking past Buckingham Castle in the evening. Just beautiful. It is also used for official ceremonies, state visits and sightseeing. It is famous for housing a substantial part of the Royal Collection, an extraordinary set of artistic works resulting from royal collection. The palace or esplanade in front of it has become a gathering point for Britons in times of calamity, crisis or holidays.

Went to the castle, then to Stonehenge, we had to switch lunch and bath but still got to do it all! - Tour guide was awesome! Very well with time management and fixing things on the fly. Lovely stops. Would highly recommend! Lots of walking and stops are quick; hour at most. But super good bang for your buck!

Nice and fantastic - Nice and great 👍🏻 experience. Although weather is not so nice, all the trip is safe and being fantastic. However, there was a thief over the castle outsides and my pocket got open during downstairs when I was heading back to my coach today. Anyway, thanks James and Moses . Me and my husband felt good during this trip.

Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath - James was a great guide and very helpful. Carlos was a wonderful driver...not sure how he manages a bus that size through such small roads. We had a great experience.

Instead, Uber - It’s rather expensive for just a bus ride to the locations. Just uber. No guide, just a “here ya are, grab a headset and someone else will pick you up at 1:00”. Driver on the way back reeked of cigarette smoke and let us stand in the rain for 35-40 minutes before letting us in the coach. Just awful. You also meet at a bus station that’s equal to the ghetto of Harlem.

Terrible TOUR and not worth the Price - The tour states that you have a local expert guide to go into Windsor with you and Buckingham palace. This is not the case he just speaks on the bus about random things not about the history of either place. You are left on a long line and have to use a an audio guide which is not helpful. You can go to both places with a taxi or an uber and pay for admission yourself for much less money. Viator refunded one of the families on the tour but not us. They didn’t care. We have used Viator in many different countries and for a few years and we are extremely disappointed with their false advertising and lack of concern.

DONT take tour. NO tour guide with you - DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR. The guide talks for a little bit on bus and then drops you off in a line and tells you what time to be at coach or he will leave us. No guide at Windsor or Buckingham. Windsor is a town in itself so if you get lost then your just lost. I could have paid a taxi and bought tickets for MUCH LESS. They false advertise and say there is a guide. Several groups of families with us made complaints to no resolved.
