What you'll do

In the charming English countryside, you’ll explore Windsor, a market town that’s 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. 

Where you’ll go

With your local host leading the way, you’ll take the train to the historic market town of Windsor, about an hour’s journey west from London. This picturesque spot in the heart of the Berkshire countryside is clustered around Windsor Castle and the medieval old town, on the south bank of the River Thames. You’ll visit the castle, and for spectacular views across the Great Park back to the castle - once the private hunting grounds of the Royal Family, but today home to red deer and Savill Gardens - you could walk the Long Walk. If you’d prefer to stay in town, you’ll explore the cobbled streets where charming shops sit alongside centuries-old pubs, and stroll across Windsor Town Bridge to the neighboring town of Eton.

Reviews

    Ana Maria proved to be a perfect match for our personalities which made for very good and informative discussion. She is very caring of her clients and made our handicap with climbing stairs seem to disappear as she had a solution for every obstacle we encountered. Her knowledge of England, the Royals and the history associated well with this vast experience. We could not have hoped for a better guide to Windsor and the Castle than Ana Maria which made for a very pleasant and informative day. All in all a very good tour to take and an excellent tour guide to make for a magic experience.
