About this tour
A seven-hour private guided tour centred on Windsor Castle, the sprawling royal residence where Queen Elizabeth II spent her life and was laid to rest. Your guide leads you through the State Apartments and around the castle grounds, then into Windsor town beside the Thames. The itinerary also takes in Runnymede, where memorials to the Magna Carta and JFK stand—a stop many operators skip. On the return to London, you can arrange a detour to Kensington Palace, where Diana raised William and Harry. The journey suits all fitness levels and wheelchairs.

What to expect
Your guide collects you and travels in a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus with USB charging and WiFi. You'll spend most of the morning and early afternoon at Windsor Castle itself, moving through the opulent State Apartments and exploring the grounds where the late Queen resided. Windsor town offers a coffee or lunch break (your own cost) by the river. Mid-tour, you'll stop at Runnymede to view the two key memorials—a quieter historical interlude many skip. On the return leg toward Central London, you can opt to visit Kensington Palace and its gardens if time permits. The guide handles logistics; you handle entry fees separately.
