What to expect

After a brief return to your starting point, the group boards a direct train to Windsor—a relaxing 45-minute journey where you can chat with your guide or simply unwind. At Windsor Castle, expect a leisurely exploration of the chapel, state rooms, and parkland; your guide provides context but leaves space for independent discovery. The return train departs mid-afternoon.
