About this tour
Spend five hours exploring Windsor Castle and its surroundings on a private guided tour from London.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel and drives you to Windsor, where you'll spend the bulk of the morning inside the castle. You'll move through the Grand Corridor, private apartments and ceremonial rooms using a detailed audio guide; your guide stays with you to answer questions and provide historical colour. The chapel visit is particularly striking—it's genuinely intimate despite its grandeur. Afterwards, you'll have a couple of hours to stroll Windsor's narrow shopping streets, pop into antique dealers or simply sit with a pint overlooking the Thames. The return journey to London gives you a chance to decompress.
Good to know
St George's Chapel closes on Sundays, so plan accordingly. The castle has uneven floors and numerous staircases—wear comfortable shoes. Smart casual dress is expected (no trainers or beachwear). Groups are capped at four people maximum, keeping things intimate. Weather won't stop the tour, so pack layers.
