5/5 Ashley Price (. 1 year ago on Google
Me
and
my
partner
went
on
a
three
stop
tour
with
Golden
Tours
to
Windsor
Castle,
Stonehenge
and
Oxford.
Our
guide
Nicholas
and
driver
Stefan
were
lovely
and
were
great
operators
for
our
trip.
Being
the
last
to
arrive,
we
got
probably
the
worst
seats
on
the
coach.
We
were
sat
at
the
back,
in
the
aisle
and
middle
right
seat
of
the
5
seats
at
the
end
of
the
bus.
This
was
objectively
the
worst
seats
of
the
whole
bus
and
it
caused
me
to
feel
very
claustrophobic
to
the
point
of
almost
having
a
panic
attack.
There
was
also
no
seatbelt
available
to
the
middle
seat
that
I
was
in
and
also
no
digital
screen
available
like
on
every
other
seat.
This
would
have
ruined
the
whole
tour
experience
for
me
before
it
had
even
started,
HOWEVER,
I
mentioned
how
I
felt
to
our
guide
Nicholas,
and
he
was
able
to
arrange
for
us
to
swap
seats
with
another
couple
(we
did
try
to
reimburse
them
and
offer
to
pay
for
a
drink
or
lunch,
but
they
refused).
Aside
from
my
seating
issue,
the
tour
bus
itself
was
fine,
they
had
arranged
small
bags
for
trash
and
had
retractable
armrests
and
curtains.
Leaving
from
London
Victoria,
our
first
stop
was
Windsor
Castle.
It
was
the
shortest
travel
time
of
all
the
stops
and
Nicholas
gave
us
some
history
and
pointed
out
some
nice
places
as
we
drove
past
both
in
london
still
and
as
we
approached
Windsor.
He
didn’t
talk
the
whole
time
as
we
drove,
I’m
not
sure
if
he
would
have
had
enough
to
talk
about,
but
it
was
nice,
he
didn’t
talk
your
ear
off
but
he
also
didn’t
leave
you
to
yourselves
too
much
to
where
you
may
miss
little
things.
He
did
this
also
for
the
rest
of
the
tour,
having
some
history
or
talk
about
things
we
were
passing
or
where
we
had
just
been
as
we
set
off
for
the
next
place
or
were
getting
close.
Windsor
castle,
a
short
walk
from
the
place
we
parked
the
coach,
our
guide
Nicholas
got
us
our
wristbands
for
entry,
and
we
went
through
the
security
bag
check
without
him
(There
however
was
an
issue
with
a
mixup
of
wristbands
as
one
couple
had
to
pay
double
for
entry
as
another
couple
had
mistakenly
taken
their
entry
wristbands,
but
this
was
brought
up
and
settled
between
themselves
later).
We
were
able
to
grab
audioguides
for
our
independent
exploration
of
the
castle
grounds.
We
were
there
for
about
2
hours,
from
entry
to
having
to
be
back
at
the
coach,
just
a
10
minute
walk
away.
The
dollhouse
was
unfortunately
still
closed
so
we
weren’t
able
to
see
that,
but
everything
else
went
grand.
We
rushed
a
bit
through
the
state
houses
as
we
wanted
to
have
time
to
see
the
church
and
head
back
to
the
coach,
but
we
were
still
able
to
see
all
the
rooms
and
listen
to
all
the
introductory
audio
files
for
each
room.
We
were
however
stopped
from
leaving
for
about
10
minutes
while
they
did
a
change
of
the
guard,
but
we
were
still
able
to
visit
a
gift
shop
and
get
milkshakes
on
our
way
back
to
the
coach.
We
also
were
able
to
see
(and
was
told
about
by
the
guide)
the
royal
hunting
grounds
as
we
exited
Windsor
which
was
pretty
cool
to
see.
Stonehenge
was
our
second
stop,
a
longer
travel
time
but
quite
honestly
I
think
I
slept
most
of
the
coach
ride.
Our
guide
once
again
getting
us
our
entry
and
leading
us
to
the
entrance.
I
quite
liked
that
we
were
able
to
independently
tour
each
place,
we
weren’t
held
down
by
having
to
stay
with
the
group
or
keeping
pace.
We
were
at
Stonehenge
for
an
hour
and
a
half,
from
entry
to
coach,
and
aside
from
being
a
little
rushed
through
the
history
section
(probably
our
own
fault
as
we
stopped
to
eat
lunch
by
the
stones)
it
was
lovely.
I
managed
to
nab
a
souvenir
on
our
way
out
too,
a
small
£6
bag
pin.
They
also
had
these
small
statues
and
build
your
own
Stonehenge
small
figures
type
things,
but
I
didn’t
want
to
spend
too
much
and
I
had
my
eyes
set
on
pins
from
the
get
go.
Our
third
and
final
stop
on
our
tour
was
Oxford,
in
where
we
were
told
(by
our
guide)
that
Oxford
University
isn’t
just
one
big
building,
its
actually
just
a
collection
of
colleges
banded
together
to
form
the
institution.
For
this
stop,
our
guide
Nicholas
offered
a
walking
tour
for
us,
which
we
were
able
to
decline
if
wanted.
