    Isle of Wight Tour

    We had a great day out to the Isle of Wight. Thoroughly enjoyed Osborne House, to see the bed where Queen Victoria took her last breath, was a soberly surreal experience. Then on to the quaint seaside town of Shanklin for lunch, highly recommend the Seafarer with its delicious food and seaside views. Godshill was our last stop where we enjoyed an ice cream and a relax. Steve our tour guide was very welcoming sharing his informative upbeat knowledge of the Isle of Wight. Abdul was a very good driver. Would recommend this tour

    Amazing tour guide!

    Steve and Courtney were amazing, Steve was conscientious regarding my disabled mother and went above and beyond for us to make the trip as comfortable as possible. He is extremely knowledgeable and such good banter during the tour, it made our day! Will definitely return to book more tours especially if Steve and Courtney are going! Courtney was so helpful with loading and unloading the wheelchair, assisted my mum in and out of the coach and made sure we got to and from safely.

    An Unforgettable Day on the Isle of Wight with an Outstanding Team

    A Breathtaking Isle of Wight Experience Our Isle of Wight trip with Anderson Tours was more than wonderful and truly memorable. The island itself was breathtaking, the places we visited were beautiful, and the ferry crossing was an excellent experience that made the journey even more special. Our tour guide, Steve, was excellent throughout the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and he shared interesting historical information and useful details about every place we visited. His explanations helped us appreciate the island and its history much more. Our driver also did a great job. The journey was long, but we felt safe and comfortable throughout, and we genuinely appreciated his professionalism and care. We visited Godshill, which was absolutely charming. The beautiful cottages, lovely streets, and peaceful atmosphere made it feel like something from a storybook. We also visited Shanklin, where we had fish and chips based on Steve’s recommendation, and we really enjoyed the experience. The highlight of the trip for us was Osborne House, the former home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It was breathtaking and full of history. Walking through the rooms and grounds was an unforgettable experience. The only difficulty with the itinerary was that we spent a significant amount of time travelling to and from the island, which meant that our time at each location was very limited. We often felt that we were rushing in and out without enough time to properly explore the shops, cafés, food, and surroundings. The Isle of Wight is such a beautiful place and deserves more time at each stop. I would also like to provide honest feedback about the pickup arrangements at London Bridge. We were instructed to arrive before 7:00 a.m., and as a family, we made sure to be there early and on time. However, we ended up waiting for more than 45 minutes, and the coach did not leave until approximately 7:20 a.m. because we were waiting for a late passenger. The waiting location was not comfortable or suitable for such a long delay. There was no proper clean seating or comfortable place for passengers to wait. This was particularly difficult for us as a family and must have been even harder for the elderly passengers who were standing and waiting for a long time early in the morning. It would also be helpful if pickup points could be arranged near a clean café, hotel, restaurant, or another comfortable and safe waiting area, especially for families, children, elderly travelers, and passengers who arrive early as instructed. Despite these points, the Isle of Wight itself was absolutely beautiful, and the overall trip was an amazing and memorable experience. Steve was a wonderful guide, our driver was excellent, and we returned with beautiful memories of the ferry, the villages, the coast, and Osborne House. I would recommend the tour, while hoping that the pickup arrangements and the amount of time allocated on the island can be improved in the future.

    London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at £100 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 London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 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 London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 61 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 London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket?

    +

    Around 21 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket 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.

    What is included in London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket?

    +

    Included: Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points; Driver/guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Live commentary on board. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket?

    07:15 London Bridge Please meet your tour guide for a 7:15am departure from Bus Stop S, Tooley Street SE1 2QF (close to the Tooley Street entrance/exit of London Bridge Station). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket?

    +

    Is London: Isle of Wight Day Trip with Osborne House Entry Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
