Fantastic experience
Our tour of Windsor Castle and Eton College was genuinely wonderful. Peter, our guide was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very friendly and a pleasure to be around. Myself, my wife and our 5 month son were able to experience the beauty of the Castle and learn a lot along the way. It is safe to say we will definitely be coming back in the future.
Response from the operator: Dear Eric, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Peter, he’ll be delighted with your feedback! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to England. Best wishes! David Garcia Owner Bespoke England Tours

Katie & I spend a day at Windsor Castle
Our guide was extremely pleasant & knowledgeable on the history of Windsor Castle & Eton. Our transportation was clean & comfortable. Our driver, Peter was even kind enough to stop by so I could see the house I lived in 37 years ago while studying in London.
Response from the operator: Dear Barbara, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Peter, he’ll be delighted with your feedback! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to England. Best wishes!

Windsor Castle
Peter was an excellent guide and provided much information. He is personable and accommodated us as the day went along. We skipped the line and had a wonderful sense of the history of Windsor Castle and surrounding areas. A very delightful tour.

Day trip to Windsor
We absolutely loved Windsor! We had a seamless pick up and drop off with our guide/driver. Our only feedback would be that it felt very rushed. We were gone 4.5 hours and I’d say at least 2.5 of those hours were in the car. We didn’t make a stop at Eton college, just a quick drive by. I wouldn’t even include that part in the description of the tour. It was very helpful to have our guide when getting in and around Windsor castle. We went right to the front of the lines! We did fly through the castle and only got to see the band marching away from the changing of the guard. Our guide was nice enough to drop us at Notting hill where we were picking up our day. Besides the rushed feel, we had a wonderful, quick trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Ashley, Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a candid review. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Nick and at the same time disappointed to read that you weren’t entirely satisfied with its pace. The tour description does mention that Eton is just a drive through because Eton College is a functioning school that is not open to visitors or tourists. If you would like to further discuss this issue please contact me at info@bespokeenglandtours.com Kind regards, David Garcia

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide cost?
+
Prices start at £823 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 Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide?
+
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 Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide?
+
Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide 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 Windsor Castle and Eton College Private Car with Driver Guide?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 818 listed pickup locations in and around London. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
