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
