1.Summer Special: Buckingham Palace & Windsor Castle Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 229 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $182Our pick

Review of the 8.5-hour Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace tour, with practical advice on timing, guides, value, crowds, and what is included.

“We booked a coach tour to Windsor Castle then Buckingham Palace. Lisa gave a little history on the ride to Windsor then on the way back her history was more of disrespecting Queen Camilla and Princess Di for their education level than anything else. This was not a guided tour but an unorganized coach ride starting in an overcrowded coach terminal then a crowded seat on the bus. Although we had until 1pm which was later than most groups, we still did not have enough time to do the castle, chapel and the doll house because the lines were long as well as having to walk all the way back…”

“Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle were certainly both worth seeing and made the trip memorable. Our guide Maria was friendly and informative. There were a couple of minor delays that were a little annoying but they didn’t detract from the overall experience, and we had enough time at both venues.”

4.Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle Escorted Tour from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 96 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $172

Review of the Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle tour from London, including timing, walking, guides, value, transport, and practical tips.

“This tour is not for the faint of heart. It is a LONG day. We walked over 16k steps that day. The castles are beautiful but the time at Windsor was not enough to get through all the audio tour. Too much time between the end of Buckingham and the start of the Windsor tour. It is quite a walk leaving Buckingham and getting to the Evan Evan’s office. The bus should have been at the exit to pick us up.”
