Our guide met us at our...
Our guide met us at our flat and we grabbed the train to Windsor. She made it a great day, seeing all of Windsor Castle and shopped the fun town. Christmas lights were awesome and we finished the day enjoying Afternoon Tea at Sir Christopher Wren Hotel on the river.
Response from the operator: We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled you had such a memorable day with us. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

Expensive disappointment
We are experienced travelers and could have made our way out to Windsor on our own and bought tickets for the castle, but splurged on this private tour so we could have an interesting and stress free day with someone else making all the arrangements and engaging us with an interesting tour. At $550 a person it's quite a splurge. What a horrible disappointment. Communicating with Tom, our guide, by email, we told him we'd be coming to Paddington station by underground . While we were very capable at using the underground, Tom didn't explain that we'd need to make our way from the underground station to the national rail station. It's a huge station! Normally on a private tour the guide is holding a sign with your name on it and greeting you. Instead, it's our responsibility to find him! It was quite a fiasco locating him and he seemed annoyed we hadn't found him sooner---off to a bad start. The train was delayed so it took quite a while to get out to Windsor. On the train, Tom is asking about things we could possibly do if we went back to London after Windsor castle --it was apparent he was "flying by the seat of his pants" and hadn't planned out our day. Once we got to the castle we had tickets for entry with an audio guide . Tom didn't seem that familiar with the process and didn't offer basic things like a bathroom stop. We started our audio tour and Tom went off on his own with his audio guide. At the end of the chapel tour we waited but didn't see Tom. After a full 10 minutes we finally went outside to look for him and then waited more when he didn't come . Once we realized we'd lost him we went on to the royal apartments but couldn't get in because Tom had the tickets on his phone! We talked our way in as far as the restroom and I emailed Tom that we needed tickets. I finally get a phone call from Tom who seemed surprised that we needed tickets meta to continue !! This is the private guide we paid $1100 for??!! So far we've mainly experienced stress of looking for our guide!!! After the royal apartments we found Tom and concluded . We wandered through the town--which we would have happily done on our own--and finally asked if we could do lunch stop. It seems he hadn't thought about that . After lunch we took a rather long walk to see the outside of Eaton College--Tom always forging ahead a good half block ahead of us! There was nothing to see there and it was obviously a time killer. No engaging narrative or stories as one usually gets from a good guide . We walked back to the train station and returned to London. For that money we could have purchased entry tickets , hired a private driver and enjoyed some time in Windsor--and still had money left! Every reason that one would hire a private guide was not provided. It was a giant expensive mistake!!! I should say that the day before we had booked a tour of the British Museum and had a guide from the same company, City unscripted, and she was fabulous!! As experienced travelers we know and appreciate good guides . On a $1000+ private tour one would expect the best experience --instead, the day was only made worse and all we could think about was the huge amount of money we had wasted.
Response from the operator: Hello Susan I completely understand your frustration, especially after having such a great experience the day before. I’m truly sorry that the communication, organization, and overall flow of the tour fell short of what you were promised. This isn’t the standard we hold ourselves to, and our Global Host Manager has already reviewed this case with the host team to strengthen planning, communication, and guest support. I’m glad your other experience with us went wonderfully, and we’d love the opportunity to restore your confidence with the quality experience you rightfully expected throughout. Warm regards, Sheenah and the City Unscripted team.

Day at Windsor Castle
Loved touring Windsor Castle. Our tour guide, JJ Hazan, booked us a lovely lunch at The Ivy which we enjoyed. He was very helpful in navigating the best times to arrive at the castle & knew what to see when. We even got to catch a changing of the guard.
Response from the operator: It’s great to hear JJ made your Windsor Castle tour so memorable — from navigating the best times to visit, to booking a lovely lunch, and even catching the changing of the guard, it sounds like a perfectly planned day. Thanks for the glowing feedback!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Windsor Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Windsor Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized cost?
+
Prices start at $124 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 Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized?
+
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 Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Windsor Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Windsor Day Trip from London with a Local: Private & 100% Personalized 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.
