Great opulent castles. But kinda crowded and un-guided. Oh, and no pictures allowed inside!!!

The best tour of my life!
Review by: Lords of Monksbridge, October 2017
With my love of all things Royal imagine my delight when I discovered that Buckingham Palace was to be open whilst we were in the UK and that it was doubled up with Windsor was just the icing on the cake. Nothing I can say will convey the absolute brilliance of walking through the oldest inhabited Royal Palace in the world or the main London residence of Her Majesty. Windsor was incredible and to try and describe it would be pointless but I will say that the ice cream there was the best I have ever had. Similarly Buckingham Palace is simply breathtaking my only disappointment was that you couldn't take photos inside, which is understandable, but even that couldn't dampen the absolute thrill I got from being there. If you get the chance to see both then don't miss it. Bath in the glory of two of the most beautiful palaces/castles in the world.

Loved Windsor Palace and the town. Buckingham Palace was amazing and very happy to be in London when the Queen wasn't! My only criticism of this tour was the lack of communication by the tour guides. We were told to be at the bus by 12:30pm after visiting Windsor Castle. Therefore, most of us took precious time to eat lunch because we knew Buckingham would be next. When we arrived at Buckingham, the guide said we had 1 hour to eat lunch before our tour. That was 1 hour we could have used at Windsor Castle instead of eating. We were not able to finish seeing Windsor Castle and that was extremely disturbing. In addition, the guide took us to Buckingham, gave us our tickets, and left. She never said that we were on our own after that. Of course, we figured it out but customer service was lacking on this particular tour.

Excellent! Perfect opportunity to view and tour both palaces.

The tour was good but for the Windsor Castle we had to do a big line to enter, even if advised in the description of the tour that you will skip the lines. The Buckingham Palace was great.

Loved both Buckingham and Windsor! The tour guide was average-a little scatterbrained.
Review by: Janet R, August 2017
The trip was great! The only drawback was that I had to wait an hour between Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace outside of Buckingham Palace before going in. This could've maybe been planned a bit better to have a bit more time at Windsor Castle. However, everything else went very smoothly.

Both Castles were great. 5 star would have been given if we are allowed to take photos. We are only allowed in certain areas so why not let us take photos. Considering that it cost us more or less 100AU each person per castle what proof have we go to show that we have actually been in it? So much history and if we have to listen to the whole audio we would need two days. Hubby was not fuss but I loved it. I would love to send photos but nothing to show that we actually are inside the castle.

Wonderful Day - Kind of confusing getting started!

Tour was excellent but wished there more time allowed to spend in the rooms.
Review by: Praveena L, October 2016
The tour timing wasnt well planned. No time was left for lunch between the Windsor castle morning trip and the drive back to Buckingham palace.
Review by: Carla, October 2016
This is a really great trip to both castles. I would just warn people who are unable to walk far distances that this may not be a great selection. There is a 15 minute walk uphill just to get to Windsor castle from the bus lot and a 10 minute walk after Buckingham palace just to get off the palace grounds. For a tour that is already heavy on the walking, the extra miles add up quickly.

Our guide was very knowlegeable about windsor castle and buckingham palace while on the bus but we were left To explore as we reached our destination on our own and just go back to the bus at a designated time. He told us that there was no scheduled changing of the guard at buckingham palace on the day of the tour but unfortunately, i was also in buckingham palace the day before and read the notice posted that 'changing of the guard tomorrow at 1130am'. I missed the changing of the guard on the 2 bookings i made with Viator.com.

We had an excellent guide for Windsor Castle. She gave us a lot of background information on the way there and was very friendly and helpful. We had a different guide at Buckingham Palace. We had to wait 15 or 20 minutes before we were allowed to enter the palace. Other than that, we enjoyed the Buckingham Palace tour.
Review by: Carol A, September 2016
The trip to Windsor was good. Got to see the changing of the guard. Our guide was entertaining, but when we got to Buckingham, we had to wait for another guide with our passes, and that was a little confusing to the point of feeling as if one had been abandoned.
Review by: dfischercurling, August 2016
The tours were fantastic. There was confusion meeting at Victoria Coach Station with different tours departing from same location. A little disappointed that after Buckingham tour we exit far gate and then have to find our way back to train or own hotels. Hoping this will not happen in Abu Dhabi on my next booked tour or I won't be booking in Austrailia or Hawaii during this trip.
