“Paulie and Mario were great. The sites were wonderful and full of history. Be prepared for a long day, with only a short time to visit each location and long lines for Windsor Castle. We spent most of our time waiting to enter the castle and had to rush back to the bus in time. Also, you will need to take some time to get something quick to eat. I would recommend bringing food and drinks with you.”
