Frank was an excellent guide.
ZoZo made our Downton Abbey & Highclere Castle Tour from London an unforgettable experience! From the moment we left London, everything was organized, smooth, and enjoyable. I especially appreciated that we left and arrived on time at every stop, which made the day stress-free and allowed us to fully enjoy each location. Oxford was absolutely beautiful and full of history, and Highclere Castle was even more stunning in person than on TV. ZoZo was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the day fun while sharing interesting facts about Downton Abbey, the castle, and the surrounding areas. The timing of the tour was perfect — we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore and take photos. If you’re a Downton Abbey fan, this tour is a must. Highly recommend booking with ZoZo for a fantastic day trip!
Very I formative great guide!
It was a misleading situation. 1st it says local-guide-expert. Apparently this includes just driving on the bus. NO guiding through out Windsor or Buckingham Palaces. None. (The guide should have did an overview of the Day to start. When we left Windsor we made were told Buckingham Palace was the palace, gardens and mews. When we got to the Mews, guess what— not included! $895- for the tour and then another $100- for the Mews. Not Happy!! Miss Represented !! No Guides!!
Dear Patrina, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. The Windsor Castle & Buckingham Palace tour is accompanied by a local guide. As clearly stated under Additional Information, due to palace and castle regulations, the guide is not permitted to accompany guests inside the State Apartments at Windsor Castle or inside Buckingham Palace. An audio guide is available at both locations. The tour includes visits to the Buckingham Palace State Rooms, however, there is no mention of visits to the mews or gardens. We kindly advise customers to read the booking page carefully before making a reservation to avoid any disappointment. Thank you for travelling with Premium Tours. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future.
Amazing, a must to see if in the UK, we had a fabulous host who was entertaining and informative, he got us to the front of the line pretty quick, and obviously loves the Royal Family. Great to see both in one day! It was a very full day. LOVE!!
Allen was so funny..just added to a great tour. You had plenty of time at each castle and you go at your own pace!
Great tour . I loved the amount of time dedicated to Windsor Castle and St George’s chapel. We were there about 3 hours and were able to see it all! Our guide was so funny “cheeky “😂
Small group made the tour perfect! Our guide, Nicholas was knowledgeable and funny. Windsor Castle was amazing! Buckingham Castle was way too crowded, and the poor air circulation made it very warm. However, the rooms we saw were stunning. Disappointed, no interior photos were allowed in either location.
Steve, our guide, entertained us and ensured we would not be standing in a queue too long to enter Windsor Castle by taking us on a roundabout way of getting there and a walking tour of Windsor area near the Castle.
Very complete Steve's explanations and I love the whole tour in the company of our family. We attended my wife and 3 daughters.
