Our family of 4 is planning on taking a taxi from our Heathrow hotel to Windsor Castle. We'll get the hotel to call us a minicab to get there. My question is, are there taxis waiting in a line at Windsor when we are ready to leave? We won't have international phone service so I won't be able to call one to get back home. (I'm not opposed to public transportation by any means, but from what I've researched, it seems it's about the same price as taking a taxi and takes a lot longer.)

We stayed at the Heathrow Hilton, the front desk arranged a cab to Windsor and pick up back to the hotel. We agreed to a price and a pick up location. It was very easy, with about 20 minute drive both directions, the driver arrived at the Castle at the exact time. Worth the price.

Thanks @par.pas.75! How long did you visit Windsor Castle? What time did you tell your cab to come back? Did you have kids with you; if so, how old and what was their stamina level like at Windsor?

We are a couple, we traveled in October to England, the cab picked us up right by the castle at 8 pm. We spend the day in Windsor/Eton, it was a great solution to not having a international phone connection. Go for it!
