Private Windsor Roundtrip Transfer from London
Description
Just 60 minutes from Central London into the wow-wonderland of Windsor-on-Thames. The King of England has made it his new home…and yes, it’s worth all the fuss. We stop at Runnymede Field where King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215, the big daddy of constitutions worldwide. A self-guided walking tour, followed by a caffeine fix at an atmospheric English cafe, and jaw-dropping moments at the official residence of His Majesty. There’s still St. George’s Chapel, tombs of many English Kings and Queens, including the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the venue of the celeb-wedding of Harry and Meghan. A lunch table at a relaxing riverside restaurant or maybe you prefer a traditional afternoon tearoom in the village? Free time to visit Eton College, where 13 British Prime Ministers and Princes William and Harry studied, enjoy some shop browsing, or stroll along the River Thames. Important: Purchase your Windsor tickets 1 hour after the start time of the tour.

You might consider booking an uber or a taxi...this was simply a transfer from London to Windsor - with very little extra. Alternatively, ensure that you clearly discuss and understand the value witht he provider (other than the car ride).
Andrew was excellent! He provided welcome commentary on London on our way out of town- especially regarding points/stores of interest for us. Eton was lovely and Windsor was spectacular. The stop at Runnymede was enjoyable for our history buffs- lovely park. A most enjoyable day!
Thanks Kyle, especially as Andrew and the rest of the team here really enjoy showcasing Windsor for our guests.
Driver and tour guide was very personable and very entertaining. Made the tour! We had lots of fun because the guide always such a charming and friendly person.
We fully appreciate your generous feedback Steve, thank you. Our hosts do certainly enjoy engaging with guests in the way you have described.
I wouldn’t spend the money for this tour. All it got us was a private ride to Windsor. For $600. Dean our driver was nice and informative, however we were dropped off and didn’t see him until the end of the day. And we had to buy the Windsor entry ticket separate and just listened to audio guide. Just take a taxi and buy an entry ticket. You will save about $500 per couple.😕

Once again, we sincerely apologise for this unfortunate occurrence, and have taken all necessary procedures so that this does not happen again.

Mick was very knowledgeable and friendly. Made our Windsor day enjoyable. We enjoyed every minute of this tour.
Our wholehearted thanks for such a tremendous review for Mick, who has fond memories of his day excursion with you guys.
While I'm not sure Mark was super knowledgeable on Windsor, he was a great guy to spend the day with. Super accommodating and very personable. We all enjoyed spending the day with him. I would absolutely work with this company again.
Many thanks for your constructive review Kate, and Mark and the team at BCHT forward all best wishes.
Knowledgeable guide. Great way to see Windsor and enjoy lunch after touring. Very accommodating guide as to one’s personal needs.
A review for our private services which is much appreciated, Javier!
Mark was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable, funny, and a professional through and through. Couldn’t recommend this company and this individual enough. We had a fantastic experience.
History, heritage, knowledge, delivered in an engaging and fun and entertaining way is exactly what and his colleagues set out to provide on a daily basis. This review captures that mindset and for that we are extremely grateful, Jason.
Excellent private tour with Mark. Our guide was very knowledgable and extremely informative while touring Windsor Castle. He was also very informative on our drive from London to Windsor and back. Highly recommend this tour.
Recommendations for our guiding services are always well received here, so thanks, Robert.
It was such an amazing experience. William had a lot of knowledge and made my experience amazing. He showed us all of the historical locations.
