Mark from Timescape Tours was an incredible guide - very personable and knowledgeable, with just enough information sprinkled with wonderful stories and tidbits!

Phenomenal Tour! Mark was an absolute delight! He took his time with my mother in law, pointing out all the historical tidbits, the great background and keen knowledge of English history. Loved it! Don't miss looking Mark up!

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever had! Our amazing tour guide Mark made it easy on my parents and me (in our jet-lagged state) by picking us up from our hotel in his luxurious private car. He went on to share so much knowledge with us en route to Windsor. When we got there we watched the changing of the guards — it was all perfectly timed! Once inside the grounds Mark accompanied us through St. George’s and the estate rooms, providing us with a wealth of historical information to digest at our leisurely pace. The day flew by and really couldn’t have gone any better! If you have a chance to take this tour you won’t regret it. In fact, it’s sure to be a highlight of your London travels. We will be recommending to all our family and friends for future visits. Thank you so much Mark!

Really enjoyable visit with my older mother and college aged daughter. Initially a slight snag as booked with another family ( which would have been fine), Went above and beyond to accommodate us and make it all work. Ended up having a private tour after all, Had. friendly sweet driver ( Walter) who was very kind. Has a wonderfully pleasant and knowledgable guide ( Sian) who we enjoyed so much. She gave so much information not just about history, the castle and the times but shared much about present times in England. We just had a wonderful visit and day. Thanks so much . Would unreservedly recommend

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Mark is an amazing driver and guide. He is very knowledgeable. He was great with my 17y.o. and 15y.o. He answered all of our questions and really brought the castle to life. I would highly recommend this tour. We look forward to visiting England again and having Mark as our guide on future adventures.

My wife and I had a great day with Mark. He is extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time with him before during and after our Windsor castle tour. Having someone walk through the grounds with us definitely added to the experience and gave me the feeling that I didn’t miss anything. I will definitely do another tour with Mark the next time we are in London.
