Although the experience did as advertised, it was basically a cab ride to Windsor, tickets and that’s it. My fault, considering how much it cost which would have been much cheaper if we would have just Uber’d there on our own and bought tickets would have saved us about half of the cost. I think this took advantage of first time travelers which was our case. As mentioned, the experience did as advertised but at double the cost and much less enrichment. Buyer beware and read the fine print. Lesson learned. I think Viator should look deeper into these experiences for their customers.

Paid over $1000 for an 60 -90 minute car ride for 4 people and entrance to castle. Totally not worth it. Requested a partial refund as this was not acceptable and did not receive it.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Our Windsor Castle private vehicle service is designed to offer a convenient and comfortable way to visit this iconic site, with round-trip transport from London, priority admission tickets, and the flexibility to explore at your own pace. We understand that the value of the experience can vary from guest to guest, and we regret that you didn’t feel it was worthwhile in this case.
Ride to and from was great- but after arriving we were in long lines and used audio I am not sure what our $1200 tickets paid for- huge scam.a we showed other groups and they were shocked! Even the leaders of other groups couldn’t make sense of why it was so expensive- they all asked who it was with- we felt badly but Viator was not a name anyone would pick after seeing our prices for we got.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt the service was not value for money. However, the cost you paid included a private chauffeur service that provided door-to-door transportation, waited for you during your visit, and then ensured a comfortable return journey. Additionally, admission tickets to the attraction were included in the overall price, which might not have been the case for others you spoke to in the queue. Regarding the queue times at the attraction, unfortunately, this is outside of our control, but we appreciate your patience in this matter. We strive to offer a seamless experience with the services that are within our control, such as private transportation and added convenience. If you have any further concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out.
We had a driver who picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Windsor Castle. The drive was about an hour. The driver picked us up on time and returned after our tour on time. The car was small...I think when you hire Viator simply to drive from here to there and not on a tour, they use their own cars, which seem to be compact. Pretty average.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience with this private vehicle service to Windsor Castle. I am happy to hear that everything went smoothly and the driver picked you up on time. As stated in the product details, the vehicle that we tend to allocate depends on the number of travellers 1 to 3 adults travelling in a Sedan, 4 to 5 adults travelling in a Minivan, and 6 to 8 adults travelling in a Van. The service was booked through Viator but the service was carried out by a local supplier on the ground.
Windsor castle was a highlight of my Mom's trip to London- it is such a majestic site! This tour provided safe and comfortable transportation to/from Windsor and entrance tickets to the castle. This was our last major event of the holiday, so we appreciated a quiet and relaxed ride.
Ian, walked us to historic buildings and statues before we entered the war room. He was detailed and enthusiastic- he was the best tour guide!
Punctuality Good driver Friendly and friendly. One detail: not a bottle of water, usual in these services, even for shorter trips
Our driver, Kazi, was so wonderful. Everything went smoothly and he directed us very nicely. Windsor castle is one of the best. Getting to see that church up close wax amazing.
The visit ti the castle was wonderful, unfortunately the driver was not polite,some rude and disrespectful.
Thank you for your feedback, I am so sorry that you experienced a terrible service with one of our drivers, I have found your reservation and we will have very very strong words with the driver as this is not acceptable. And will look to take further disciplinary procedures with the driver as this is not the service that we provide. Again please accept my deepest apologies for the poor service that you received.
Windsor Castle was amazing our service from London to Windsor and back was very nice and very easy, highly recommend this company, it was very nice that they pre-booked our tickets as when we arrived there was a queue but we walked straight in as we already had our tickets.
