Windsor Castle and walking tour
First part of tour was walking tour and was over three hours and you need to arrange your own transportation to Windsor Castle.Guide was helpful but one train was canceled and another train was delayed May want to leave the walking tour early. Unfortunately due to length of walking tour as well as train delays I Was unable to do Windsor Castle tour.

Westminster Tour is fabulous.
The tour around Westminster was great. I learned a lot about London history that I didn't know. Brandon was full of knowledge and knew the best places to take pictures. We did the tour of Windsor castle after, and I would not recommend doing those together. They have tours where you can do the Abbey or War rooms after the same tour, and it would be easier. Getting to Windsor by the time the tour was over was a challenge. If you do it together, make sure you know how you are going to travel to Windsor ahead of time.

No transportation Included
The walking tour was great ! However, we had no idea that we would have to figure out our own transportation to tour the castle! We unfortunately miss the castle tour as we missed the train to get there on time.

Disappointed in this tour.
This tour was good for the first half with Giles as the guide HOWEVER, we were the only 2 people in the tour that went on to Windsor castle. Giles tried to direct us as to which underground to go to (Paddington) is what he said, when we got there we were told NO we had to take the GWR railway to get to Windsor castle. This cost both of us 13.25 pounds EACH, PLUS the underground to Paddington,which we were not happy about and we did miss our 3pm entrance but did let us in. I do use Viator on a lots of my overseas trips, but we were both highly disappointed with them this time. If you need copies of my train tickets I can send them. We would like to be reimbursed for the train and underground tickets. Thank you.

Excellent tour, except.....
Overall, it was a good your. Will was an OUTSTANDING guide, and made the walking tour a lot of fun. He was very informative and witty at the same time. As for the Windsor Castle portion of the tour..... It is vaguely explained that you have to find your own way to Windsor after the walking tour is complete. By the time the your was over (at which time we received our Windsor Castle tickets) we barely had enough time to navigate the train system to Windsor before it closed. I would recommend this tour if you just book the walking part. Find another tour that actually gets you to Windsor Castle if you want to see that.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle 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 Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 12 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 Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle?
+
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 Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle 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 Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle?
+
Around 4 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 Wonderful Westminster Tour & Visit Windsor Castle 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.
