Wonderful 3 place visit with fantastic tour Guide.
We had a wonderful trip with terrific tour guide Danxia and bus driver Amrish. Stonehenge was even more magnificent than I imagined. It was incredible to be near these mysterious 5000 year old stones. Dan's excellent and interesting information and stories made trip so much better than if we'd gone on our own. And her instructions for where to go and meet up were very clear and helpful. Thanks so much.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that Danxia and Amrish helped make your trip so memorable. It is fantastic to know you enjoyed Stonehenge and found Danxia’s commentary and clear guidance so helpful. We will be sure to share your kind comments with them!

Grear tour on rainy day
Great experience! Our guide and driver were friendly and welcoming. The meeting point was easy and bus was very nice. The weather was the only thing that wasn't good. But they gave us ponchos and great advice on how to make the mosy of our time. Would definitely do the tour again!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback!

Worst experience yet
The guide was the worst I have ever experienced on a Viatour tour. She begged us for a tip and for a positive review. She walked too fast and lost the group several times. She would not turn down the very loud speakers on the bus and continued to blast inane information not related to our tour during our confinement within the coach. Do not take this tour!!!!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge cost?
+
Prices start at $94 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 378 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge?
+
Around 132 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Extended visit: Windsor Castle & Stonehenge start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
