Highlights
  • Windsor Castle - Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years and is today one of the official residences of His Majesty The King.

Occupying over 10.5 hectares, the Castle offers a varied day out for visitors, including a visit to the magnificent State Apartments and St George’s Chapel. The Castle’s State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works from the Royal Collection, reflecting the changing tastes of the Castle’s royal occupants, particularly those of Charles II and George IV. Many of the works of art are still in the historic settings for which they were first collected or commissioned by the kings and queens who have lived at Windsor.

Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the Castle with a free multimedia tour. From October to March, visitors can also walk through the sumptuous Semi-State Apartments, which served as the private rooms of George IV in the 19th century.

  • St. George’s Chapel - Visit St George’s Chapel, where Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in a ceremony broadcast to millions around the world. Construction on this beautiful chapel began in 1475 under the reign of Edward IV, and today it is the resting place of 10 former monarchs including the infamous Henry VIII.

Great tour and expert guide! Worth every penny! - We really enjoyed all the expert history narration both to and from Windsor. Amazingly done without a script! Both entertaining and educational. Our only regret was that there was no time left to explore the village of Windsor. But the whole experience was worth every penny!

Windsor afternoon tour - The tour guide and driver were very nice. The time at Windsor felt too short. We entered Windsor around 320 and the exhibit entrances closed at 430 so it was a rush. I would recommend a morning tour to have a more leisurely time .

Windsor Great! Your guide - meh! - The trip was fine and Windsor was wonderful, but our tour guide was pretty condescending the entire time - kind of like treating everyone like they had never traveled abroad before. Maybe the “British” sense of humor but still condescending.

Would not recommend this tour guide - We loved visiting Windsor Castle and the state apartments. We appreciated not having to drive. Unfortunately, we did NOT like the tour guide, Urshula. She was negative and disrespectful. She started out saying that men should only listen to women and not use their own brains. It went downhill from there. The driver, Rory, was new. He did a great job despite the difficulty of the tour guide's attitude.

Find a different tour - Not enough time - We were looking forward to this tour. We choose the 1:00pm tour from London. It took almost an hour longer for us to get to Windsor. So by the time we got the group together and walked up the hill to start we were already down to 2 hours to see the Castle, Cathedral, Doll House and town for shopping. It was a joke. The line for the Doll House was 45 minutes. If this tour is going to be offered, the organizer should allow enough time to enjoy what we paid for. This was horrible planning on their part. Choose someone else. I will offer that the guide was great and the bus driver did a good job.
