It is VAST. Very likely the most informative and educational outdoors trip in London and around and likely one of the best botanical experiences if not the best. The primary reason is the plants and exhibits have excellent stories and descriptions suitable for an expert à newbie or even a kid. The must watch is the Princess of Wales observatory for amazing switch in the maintained weather conditions as you move through the room and probably the most recent of the setups. The kitchen gardens also shouldn't be missed although both come at the end of the standard kew highlights walk if you were to follow that. Of do plan to spend enough time in the glass houses as there is some amount of walk between the key points and overall the cover most of the park. A full day would be necessary and possibly not sufficient to cover all primary spots unless you plan the order of tour, walking time and keep enough time for all. It has definitely got some great spots for kids but the walking around could be tiring. It has an excellent children park in the middle but including that can take a up a lot of time too. Most plant exhibits will close by 3pm unless it's the summer time I think so plan accordingly and start early.
It was a beautiful place with so much to see and explore. The little train is a great way to get around. Lots of lovely places to eat or just get a drink. Thoroughly recommend.
Everything work out 100% on the day the staff were great and acepted the booking reference even though I was concerned as we did not have physical tickets.
The most beautiful botanical garden! Exceptional for its beautiful old trees, its facilities, its large glass roof, the children's playground! And what's more, the dish of the day at the restaurant was delicious. Hélène from Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada

My ticketing experience with Headout was simple and I appreciated the directions to the redemption point. Kew Gardens is lovely!
It was a quiet and a lovely garden, beautiful flowers and their aroma. The botanical garden was good too. If you are a nature lover then it's a must go.
It was my second time to visit but the first one with my friend was during the COVID pandemic so most entries inside were closed including some snack bars. I was with my husband yesterday and we enjoyed it much: lush green, well-manicured array of plants species, fresh air to breathe, convenient and clean toilets, nice food and refreshments. Glitch was no one cared about cleaning the stained dirty food trays and there were no clean plates to put the salad, please do something about it. We have mobility issues and have only gone to about 3-4 sites so we will definitely come back.
One of my favorite places in London, perfect day out with family and friends. Kew Gardens is an absolute gem! The diversity of plants and the beauty of the landscapes are truly breathtaking.
We were impressed with the quicker entrances, with our tickets,and first class treatment. We thoroughly enjoyed both Kew Gardens, and it's good parking, also Windsor Castle, the following day!
One of the most beautiful places seen in England! Exceptional care for the botanical world, perfect trip from London! 🌿

I enjoyed wandering all the different gardens looking at all the different plant species, my experience with the booking system was quick easy and simple with no problems.
Absolutely lovely day at Kew Gardens. The glass houses are incredible and the range of trees and plants outside is very impressive. Nice cafes too.
It took only a few extra second to check my booking, but everybody was helpful. The Garden is a really must-to-visit palace, but you need at least 4-5 hours, or more to see everything. Unfortunately couldn't visit the Pagoda, as it closed at 16:30. But loved every step of IT! 😍
Lots of different areas for all types of flower and plant lovers... enjoyed walking through all the wilder areas and seeing the lovely birds and art installations. Worth the time. Easy to find taking the tube.
Kew is simply amazing. I did not realize that I booked with a third party seller. This slowed down entrance. I would make sure that I buy from Kew next time.
Garden was beauitful. Spent 3 hours walking all around it (and could have stayed for longer if I didn't have other plans). Ticket was at first not going to be accepted as no barcode was showing, but then they managed to find the ticket code. Wouldn't mind going again!
A superb park with a rich variety of trees, shrubs and flowers. The Royal Greenhouse is impressive, with its elegant shapes and wrought iron. There are tropical plants for every taste. In places, the scents surprise you, like the irresistible curry or the enchanting lime blossom. The spaces are well laid out, with some charming water features. Bérangère

The whole premises are impressive, seeing the throne and intimate spaces of the king and queen, knowing about the staff working in the palace, but particularly Princess Diana's sculpture, it made some justice to her, I was happy to see her in that garden. Thank you!
My ticketing experience was brilliant. A received a whatsapp immediately. I throughly enjoyed the palace walk around with the headphones. But the whole experience was fantastic, the gardens were beautiful. I wish though, the people created up after their animals. Or someone was there to do this.

The tour was great, the only thing we missed was an option to choose czech language on the multimedia guide or at least a version with captions for people that are hard of hearing.

The history behind the rooms, clothes and items. But there isn't a space dedicate to Diana inside the catle, it is a pit as she represented an importante part of the monarchy history.
It was interresting: the Queen Jewels, the appartments. A bit expensive, but it is because we are from Paris and prices are lowers. We were surprised by the simplicity of royal appartments, comparing to the luxuary of Versailles and Fontainebleau, at Kensington the pieces are not very larges. The room is small, dinner room is very tiny. It is hard to imagine such an important queen living in this part of Palace. But what a beautifull lady was queen Victoria. So noble and pretty too. We admire her very much.
Purchasing our tickets online was quick and easy and the tickets were emailed immediately, but also available online straight after checkout. The tour was extremely interesting and the included audio tour a great help in providing lots of detail. A very enjoyable experience. The cafe was good, but high prices as seems to be the norm in London.

Very good visit ! we stayed there for a little over 2 hours to tour the site and explore the different rooms. There is a lot to see and it is very interesting. Opportunity to see the Crown Jewels (which is the reason for our visit) but everything else about the tour is just as amazing ! You will be able to see for example: the White Tower, the ravens, the Chapel, as well as different exhibition rooms which give you a lot of explanations... all with a view of the Tower Bridge.
Buying the tickets was quick and easy, and we were inside the Tower in no time. Every 30 minutes, there’s a free guided tour with a Yeoman, which we joined and would highly recommend. Our guide was both funny and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. After the tour, we explored the different buildings inside the Tower at our own pace. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it!
The Eye of London is not worth it for the price and the duration of the ride. However the Tower of London is absolutely worth it, extremely friendly yeomans, an architectural masterpeace and an importante cultural cite to visit
It was super easy to get in with e-tickets, I showed up at the entrance and once scanned they let me in right away, the Tower of London then is spectacular.

All the staff were very friendly, there were no queues, everything was very overwhelming, the paths well described, toilets top, the narrator was funny and super loud voice everyone could understand her as she told us the stories of kings and kings with factual words and funny details.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tower of London, especially the Warden tour. We allocated 4 hrs but it just wasn't enough time. Was disappointed with tower bridge as we thought that we would see under the bridge workings a d engine e room, but it was just a display of the engines in a building. The walkways were interesting. Views were amazing
Given the price of the attraction, I expected the audio guide to be included. I used the online audio guide indicated at the time of entry but had difficulty, especially at first, locating the tour route and identifying the places corresponding to the comments in the guidebook itself. I suggest that the route of the visit be more clearly indicated by also putting up signs at the places with which a commentary is associated in the audioguide

Everything went well, easy and we managed to achieve all the visits on out list in time. Good interaction with the staff.
Ticketing experience was great - very easy. I wish the Tower was more handicap accessible, though I know that can't really be helped.
It was really lovely to be able to see so much of the historic building. I thought the walking escalator to see the crowns was a nice touch as it meant everyone was able to clearly see and not crowd around.
Loved going to Tower of London. My Sons are decendents of Colonel Thomas Blood so it was very special to take them to see their great great great great grandfather's history! A must see for anyone visiting London for the first time
The kindness and help of the personnel. One member of our group lost his cap. By asking one of the wardens for advice it was located in minutes. Thank you and well done!
Loved the short tour with the Beefeater, she was great. It was great having the rest of the day to go where we pleased. The Crown Jewels were amazing!
Elasticity, although we bought the ticket with a specific time, we were, due to traffic, late but they immediately let us in without any problems.The jewelry is wonderful and The Tower is simply fabulous.

We had a wonderful time and the half day trip to Windsor Castle was defenitley worth it! If you are thinking about going, do it! Our guide Ava and driver Trisha were excellent! The bus was very nice and clean, and pick up was a breeze. There was plenty of room on the bus as the entire group size ended up only being about 20 people, which was nice! Trisha was an excellent driver and very nice! Ava was fantastic and talked about some of the history of the castle and royalty on the ride up. Ava walked us up to the castle and gave us our wristbands for entry. She gave great instructions on how to get back to the bus after as well. After going through quick security, We got there just in time to see the changing of the guard. We had plenty of time to see the State Apartments & St.George Chapel (we skipped the dollhouse) & then grabbed some coffee and did some shopping before heading back to the bus. Only a few times/rooms throughout the tour did it feel busy/crowded, so it was nice to take our time and see everything without having to wait on people/room to move around. We were dropped back off at our pickup point after. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting London and has never been to Windsor before.
Had no problem with use of Tickets to Tower or London Eye both scanned just fine. Transaction was smooth and saved a little money using this company! I recommend !
The initial introduction in the church was fascinating and AJ did a fabulous job of giving us a history lesson in such a short time before turning us loose to explore the complex. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of the lines to get into see the Crown Jewels and the White Tower.
The tour by Nev was excellent. Very humorous and informative. The Crown Jewels exhibition was really impressive and the royal residence area was very interesting. The cafe was also good.
I bought my ticket via this app and with 10% discount via my first booking. We entered the castle easily with prtinted version. I have lots of negative comments on internet but they are not true. Headout is really reliable.
I saw one of the ravens dig through a rubbish bin and my mum gasped and whispered "is that a condoms?" to me when it pulled out a plastic bag.
Everything I saw .everything well organized,clean and wonderful . The jewelry is fantastic . Pretty bars.the crows really surreal. I recommend it is I will go back

As I'm not American I resent the choice of the word awesome but it was excellent We arrived at 9.40 were near the front of a queue and practically first in the Tower which meant we saw the guards coming to open the gates We went straight away to the Crown Jewels and almost had them to ourselves . Very well displayed As I use an elbow crutch one of the guards very helpfully enabled my entrance to the white tower by a back stair . The refreshments were excellent in the cafe which is a v good size . A very enjoyable visit
We did the tour and the Beefeater (tour guide) made it fun and exciting! Learned a lot and it was great! Recommend it to anyone

Ticketing went well and was done well in advance of our visit. The castle and other buildings are wonderful. Loved seeing St. Georges, and the Windsor Castle itself. The Doll House was fascinating and a beautiful piece of art work demonstrating extraordinary craftmanship of the era. Such a nice place. Also love that it is right in town and other shops to explore.
The whole experience of Windsor Castle was amazing. I'm proud to have such a beautiful landmark in the country I live within. The whole tour was wonderful we enjoyed it all very much. The most memorable moment was seeing where the late Queen was laid to rest.
I found it easy to make the purchase, my wife and I loved everything and we intend to return to see very interesting things more calmly.

We had a lovely time walking round the castle. We didn't realise that St George's chapel was closed on a Sunday, which was slightly disappointing. Overall we had a good time
the visit to the castle was awesome. magnificent interior spaces breathe history and endless stories. I was sorry that I was not allowed to take pictures in all the interiors. I will never see beautiful coats of arms or porcelain sets anywhere else. I was very pleased with the friendly approach of all employees and their willingness to show and explain anything. it was an awesome trip.
It is VAST. Very likely the most informative and educational outdoors trip in London and around and likely one of the best botanical experiences if not the best. The primary reason is the plants and exhibits have excellent stories and descriptions suitable for an expert à newbie or even a kid. The must watch is the Princess of Wales observatory for amazing switch in the maintained weather conditions as you move through the room and probably the most recent of the setups. The kitchen gardens also shouldn't be missed although both come at the end of the standard kew highlights walk if you were to follow that. Of do plan to spend enough time in the glass houses as there is some amount of walk between the key points and overall the cover most of the park. A full day would be necessary and possibly not sufficient to cover all primary spots unless you plan the order of tour, walking time and keep enough time for all. It has definitely got some great spots for kids but the walking around could be tiring. It has an excellent children park in the middle but including that can take a up a lot of time too. Most plant exhibits will close by 3pm unless it's the summer time I think so plan accordingly and start early.
It was wonderful: the château is splendid. The audio guides are very informative and suitable for everyone. We had booked for 12.30pm, but arrived early and were even able to get in 1.5 hours early, which meant we could take our time and also enjoy the Long Walk and Eton in the afternoon.

It was great ... Was just a little disappointed that are tickets, purchased this way, were only valid for the day whereas purchased from Windsor Castle direct, they are valid for the year.
The whole day was amazing. Collected the tickets on arriving at Windsor and was the. Able to go in before the booked time which was great as we were there for the Changing of the Guards. A great day
It was a beautiful place with so much to see and explore. The little train is a great way to get around. Lots of lovely places to eat or just get a drink. Thoroughly recommend.
Easy to book tickets, and being able to avoid the queue was a bonus, had a really good day out visiting the castle and then a walk round the town.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and how much of the castle we had access to. We were also delighted to be able to go into the Chapel and were really pleased with the food we purchased on site
It was amazing to see the opulence of the apartments. The architecture and attention to detail of everything we saw. Fantastic expierence iverall
Trip was fine but disappointed that the ticket I had bought was not an annual pass that could have been purchased elsewhere
We loved everything about Windsor castle! It was an epic experience! The magnitude and magnificence of the building blew us away! We also loved learning about its history and the fact that it has been lived in and used since it was first built in the 1100's!
Easy to book the digital ticket worked a dream. Windsor Castle is amazing prestine condition with a very interesting history
Everything work out 100% on the day the staff were great and acepted the booking reference even though I was concerned as we did not have physical tickets.
The ticketing was easy and we even gained entry ahead of our allotted time. My husband uses a mobility scooter and the staff were wonderful. From the first entry point and all around the castle all the volunteers were so helpful. They couldn't do enough to make getting around the whole venue as simple as possible. With great thanks to them we were both able to see every room and area of the castle. It was a fantastic visit and one I would recommend to anyone who enjoys general history, and royal history in particular.
A wonderful experience to see where the royal family live. I enjoyed St Georges chapel as It was so relaxing and the acoustics were brilliant when the choir were singing and playing. Struggling with back problems the security staff there were very helpful taking me another way in to see the dolls house which was well worth seeing.
St.Georges Chaple was my favourit. The ground was very well maintened. The staff was very friendly. Everything was perfect and quick at the entrance!
The most beautiful botanical garden! Exceptional for its beautiful old trees, its facilities, its large glass roof, the children's playground! And what's more, the dish of the day at the restaurant was delicious. Hélène from Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada
