What to expect
Your guide Sarah meets you at the castle and walks you through the grounds and key interiors over two and a half hours. The State Rooms cannot be formally guided (museum rules), but Sarah stays with you, explaining the art, furnishings, and royal context as you move through. St George's Chapel is a highlight—a working place of worship and royal mausoleum. The Round Tower offers views across the Thames Valley. Expect to climb stairs, walk on uneven medieval stone, and spend time standing and listening. The pace is unhurried; bring comfortable shoes and a jacket (weather dependent).
