Great Local Insight - We did the Windsor walking tour with Eva and had a great time walking around the streets of Windsor. Having a long term local guide you around the streets explaining the history and stories of the town was a great introduction for our first visit to Windsor. Would thoroughly recommend taking a walking tour with Eva.

A pleasant stroll around Windsor - Debra was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about Windsor and its connections with the Royal Family. She was happy for us to ask questions and communicated very well.
She is a local so it was great to have the locals point of view . She gave us some recommendations for places to go for lunch after the tour.
I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to know more about Windsor beyond the castle.

A most worthwhile and enjoyable experience. - This was Day One of a five day stay and this tour was a very useful introduction to our time in Windsor. We were given a thoroughly absorbing and interesting tour of the town. Deborah is a friendly and engaging lady who speaks very well. She clearly loved her town and was keen to tell us so much about its nature and history. We learned many interesting and quirky facts, not just about the royals and the castle but also about the town and its people. Deborah also gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and answered them in detail, including the best eateries/etc to visit. Highly recommended.

Fall in love with Windsor... on foot! - I did a walking tour of Windsor and absolutely LOVED it. Touring on foot allows you to see more than you would from a vehicle. And we were able to engage in conversation with the tour guide and learn little anecdotes that we weren't expecting. Windsor is lovely and it's such a pleasure to explore on foot.
