Our guide met us at our flat and we grabbed the train to Windsor. She made it a great day, seeing all of Windsor Castle and shopped the fun town. Christmas lights were awesome and we finished the day enjoying Afternoon Tea at Sir Christopher Wren Hotel on the river.

Loved touring Windsor Castle. Our tour guide, JJ Hazan, booked us a lovely lunch at The Ivy which we enjoyed. He was very helpful in navigating the best times to arrive at the castle & knew what to see when. We even got to catch a changing of the guard.

Becky was a wonder! She listened to what we were interested in seeing and tailored the tour just for us. She went above and beyond showing us how to use the tube back to our hotel. This was a lifesaver for the rest of our trip. She was the best! Highly recommend.

What you’ll do

In the charming English countryside, you’ll explore Windsor, a market town famous for being home to Windsor Castle - the oldest occupied Castle in the world. You’ll explore the Castle and its grounds, taking a peek at the lavish State Apartments and St George’s Chapel, and if you time it right, you could even see the Changing of the Guard, where the iconic red-dressed soldiers march through the town and up to the Castle.

But more than just seeing this world-famous site, your host will reveal the charming pockets of Windsor that many don’t see - from enjoying a locally brewed ale in a charmingly crooked pub to browsing the town’s craft market or discovering a stunning ornamental garden in the Great Park. 

*Please note that the Castle is closed every Tuesday and Wednesday
