Brilliant Tour - Barbara is a treasure! She knows so much about the castle, the history, the ties to current events, and she makes it all very accessible to her audience. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. A highlight of our trip!

Outstanding Tour of Windsor - Barbara gave us (my wife, 13 yo twins, and me) a remarkable tour of Windsor Castle. Barbara was incredibly knowledgeable about the castle's rich history and provided fascinating insights into royal life and the castle's role throughout the centuries. The State Apartments were stunning, and St. George's Chapel was a highlight with its impressive architecture and royal tombs. We highly recommend doing this tour (and we hope you are able to get paired with Barbara)!

Barbara was the VIP of Windsor - Barbara regaled us with stories from ALL the royal events because she was invited and attended. We heard how the flag changed when the King was in attendance (he was that day), the queen’s funeral procession and Harry and Meaghan’s wedding as well as all the architectural changes over 1,000 years. A great tour!

Highly recommend - Barbara, our guide, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of history and monarchy of Windsor Castle. We're very glad we chose a private tour as oppose to renting the head phones and walking by ourselves. We would have missed so much history and all the little nuances of the castle and its residents.

knowledgable guide; minimal wait times - Barbara was very knowledgable! She was able to show us highlights with minimal wait times. We loved being able to see the dollhouse as well as the chapel. The only thing that could've topped it off would have been to see some of the royals!
