High quality tour and service
Our guide Cameron was very knowledgeable, was fantastic to listen to and made it a thoroughly enjoyable day. Tomasz our driver made our journey very comfortable and safe. The content of the tour was spot on and including the length. We were in a small group also which was perfect for a more exclusive experience. Highly recommend Evan Evans for the high quality of service.

Amazing tour
Did the Oxford and Windsor tour with tour guide Cameron and driver Sorin. Loved the fact that Cameron was very adaptive and made sure that we had the best experience. He switched the order around to make sure we would make the most of our time. We had time to visit everything while avoiding the crowd rushes and the long lines which saved time and let us see more. Also loved the fact that the tour which he created was very well paced, gave us the time to explore everything without feeling rushed. It shows his attention to detail and his empathetic side to foresee our needs. He also made the drive fly by with his interesting facts, jokes and anecdotes. Also appreciated his recommendations for what to see, do and eat. Loved the tour, the best one I’ve been on. Would love to have him again. Also shoutout to Sorin for making the drive so smooth and making it possible. Finally Evan Evans is an amazing company, spacious and comfortable coach with wifi on board.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Windsor Castle and Oxford Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Windsor Castle and Oxford Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 Oxford Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Oxford Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 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 Oxford Small Group Tour?
+
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 Oxford Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Windsor Castle and Oxford Small Group Tour?
+
Around 16 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Windsor Castle and Oxford Small Group Tour 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 Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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.
