If you're considering a private tour to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle, stop considering and just book it. Our day with AJ was one of the highlights of the entire trip. The difference between a private tour and a group coach is hard to overstate. No queuing, no waiting, no herding — we walked straight past the lines at both sites while the crowds shuffled forward. The whole day felt effortless in a way that only good planning and a great driver can deliver. AJ made the experience. Warm, funny, and genuinely knowledgeable — the drive out to Stonehenge and back felt half the length it should have because the conversation was so good. He read the day perfectly: engaging when we wanted to talk, quiet when we wanted to take in the views, and always exactly where we needed him to be. Stonehenge at your own pace, Windsor Castle without the crowds, and a comfortable ride both ways in great company. An effortless day from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the feedback.
We had a fantastic day seeing Stonehenge and Windsor Castle. Nick, our guide, was absolutely excellent. Cheery demeanor, filled with facts, excited about his job, and excited to tell us everything he knew. He engaged everyone in the family together and individually. He really makes you feel welcome to the tour and to the country. He’s an excellent ambassador for the company.
Thank you for the feedback.
Stonehenge is even more impressive than expected! Windsor was very nice and St Goerge's Chapel is down right amazing. The ride out and back from London was through beautiful countryside. Nik is very personable and entertaining.
Thank you for the feedback.
We had Kash as our driver. He was on time, made sure we knew where to go, and communicated well regarding pickup locations and we never felt hurried. As others have mentioned, this service is more of a transportation service to the sites rather than a guided tour experience. One concern we had was that for much of the drive, Kash appeared to be on a personal phone call while we were in the car. While he was friendly and got us safely to each destination, it did not feel in line with the professional standard we would expect from a company driver service.
Hi thank you for the feedback. We are glad you had a good time as you booked this tour extremely last minute less than 24 hours to go in peak season. All the main Guides were already booked. Unfortunately this is what happens if you leave your plans to the very last minute Kash is a new guide and is still learning the ropes, however within time his knowledge will improve and he will be up to the same standard as all the others. I’m sure you appreciate it was either this or we turned down your booking and not allow the chance to visit these amazing sites again thank you for your business and perhaps in future plan a little bit better to ensure the Tour company you book with as adequate time to book you in instead of a very last-minute reservation, thank you. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in the UK.
I’m sure Kingdom Private Tours provides a good experience – when everything works right. But the real test of a business is how it handles problems. We hired Kingdom Private Tour for a day to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle. It was a bright, sunny day. As we were leaving Stonehenge about noon, the car was hot, and I asked the driver to turn on the air conditioning. He told us it was broken and opened the windows. On the highway with the windows open, the noise in the back of the car was deafening, so I asked him to close them, and we sat there in the heat. While we were on the way to Windsor, I started an email exchange with the Kingdom’s manager about the problem. He wrote back, telling me not to worry about “such small matters.” After we were back at our hotel, I wrote back requesting a partial refund. He refused any compensation, writing that “We delivered a wonderful day,” and that we were supplied with “plenty of cool drinks” - a couple of room-temperature water bottles.
Unfortunately this client is a terrible liar and he threaten us with a low scores if we did not refund him £200 for the AC failing over halfway through out the day which we of course cannot control. Vehicles go wrong from time to time but very rarely. It was not hot that day not even 60f. Peter apologised gave them loads of ice cold drinks from the onboard fridge. The cooling in the van did still work not just not AC cold!!!! He opened windows etc. After it failed they had only in total 1.5 hours left of driving that day and that was spread out. But some people see any option to grab money back like this person. We did all as per the tour start to finish. Peter did an amazing job and even let them stay almost an extra 1 hour for FREE to make it up to them this would normally be charged at £150 which the client was happy to take of course lol!!! But no not good enough. Well NO refund as threats don’t work. Maybe if the client left a decent honest review like 4 stars and did not threaten us I would have offered something. But for this case no way! Please ignore this review you can see who is telling the truth it is obvious to anyone seeing as everyone else leaves us and Peter 5 stars!!!!
What an amazing day with Douglas. He was so informative and funny. From the first communication in the morning he kept us in the know throughout the day. Remember to include him in your lunch plans as he has great stories that are not part or of Stonehenge or Windsor Castle. An overall fantastic host for the day. We are so glad to have had a day with him. We highly recommend Kingdom Private Tours and Douglas.   
Thank you for the wonderful feedback
The tour was very informative and historical. Douglas does a great job of entertaining and informing of royal life and the outskirts of London.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback
Very interesting the 2 places we met, the service very good, the guide Nicholas very attentive and very friendly
Thank you for the feedback.
Both venues were great but our driver Nik really made the experience. His energy and friendliness made it so much fun and his knowledge of history especially Stonehenge was incredible. He truly guided us on timings, where to go and where to eat. The communication leading up to the trip from the tour company was also great. We would highly recommend Nik as a guide anyway!!
What wonderful feedback so lovely to read. Nik was very happy to hear the above. We hope you book again.
