What to expect
Your driver-guide collects you from a London address and drives you west to Windsor, a compact market town centred on its castle. The bulk of your time is spent inside Windsor Castle—expect to walk multiple floors through state apartments, St George's Chapel, and courtyards. Queues and security checks are standard. Afterwards, you'll visit Eton Riverside across the river, where the guide points out the college's Gothic architecture and explains its role in British public life. You'll have opportunity to stroll the village and grab refreshments before the return drive to London. The pace is leisurely; this is a sightseeing tour, not a hike.
Good to know
The castle occasionally closes at short notice due to royal duties, so confirm accessibility before departure. Wear comfortable shoes for several hours of walking and standing. Lunch is not included; budget for a meal in Windsor. The private rate covers groups of 1–3 people equally; 4–6 people share a single higher rate.
