Why spend time and money traveling to Windsor Castle if you don't even have time to see the State Apartments and St. George's Chapel? Half of our time at Windsor Castle was waiting in a line to gain entry. I don't feel that rush of the visit at…”

“Destinations of Windsor castle, Stonehenge and Oxford are great. However there is not enough time to give justice to any of them! Tour was done in a lot of hurry! There was no time allocated for a quick lunc! Windsor castle was closed on Wednesday. Most (at least half) of the time was spent traveling! They should only do two destinations in a day. Driver was excellent but we were not happy with the guide Andrew! He did not communicate properly! He Did not give clear instructions before hand that there is no time slit for lunch! Andrew never laughed, not even once and never cracked any joke! He was…”
