Hampton Court / Windsor Castle Tour - Hampton Court took me back in time...it was amazing to walk in the same room as the Kings and Queens of so long ago. The tour group was nice. I enjoyed being free to wander around at my own pace at both castles. Windsor looked like something out of a fairytale. The immense wealth is astounding.

Lovely sites! - Loved Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. Things for the provider to improve on include: return us to the location we left from as advertised (had to get an Uber back to the bus station) and provide the snackpack as advertised. Overall, nice excursion.

If you love Tudor history... - If you love Tudor history this is the tour for you! Loved Hampton Court. Windsor was somewhat disappointing as there was less to see, no photos and we were rushed through the chapel.

Fun, comfortable, well organized tour for our family - Today’s Golden Tours tour of Hampton Court and Windsor Castle was a blast. Dolly is a wonderful guide, she had just the right balance of historical and present day info, fun facts and humor, and she knew when to be informative and when to let us enjoy the scenery. We felt like VIPs at both locations. The bus was clean and comfortable, both big plusses. We are a family of four and both parents and kids felt safe, relaxed, and inspired by our excursion. I don’t see a lot of reviews for this tour on Trip Advisor, but there should be because we’re really glad we booked it! Such a fun day. Big thanks to Dolly for making the day special!

Tish made our trip awesome. - Tish is an amazing tour guide. She is so knowledgeable and such a great speaker, we learned so much about the places we passed on the way and about our destinations. She is super organised and did her utmost to ensure everybody's needs were met. We were very well looked after. The driver was also friendly, polite and welcoming and needs a medal for navigating the London traffic. Golden Tours is lucky to have you both and I hope that is reflected in your pay packets.

Well paced, informative tour - Guide Kish and driver Koli were both excellent in their respective jobs. Kish was a non stop font of info on London neighborhoods we traveled through enroute, the history of both stops and their resident royals, and was very conscientious about keeping us on time and affording us adequate time to explore the sites with the free time we were allotted. Great itinerary and great job!

Crowds and warm temperatures made journey uncomfortable - Morton was our guide and he was very good and personable. I had been to both Hampton Court and Windsor Castle before, but husband was seeing them for the first time. Unfortunately, Royal Chapel at Hampton Court was closed and I missed the actors playing Henry and his wives who were there last time. Windsor was fine although completely mobbed. Our bus was also packed and I didn't appreciate the "gentleman" in front of me who reclined his seat for the entire trip. Bus seats are too small.

Great except for drop off - This was a very wonderful tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and cheerful! The palaces were even more amazing than I expected! The only negative was that we were not dropped off at our pick up spot, which was promised on our tickets.
