We visit the amazing Windsor Castle, the family home to British kings and queens for over 1,000 years.

The size of the 13 acre Castle is breathtaking, and it is the largest and oldest occupied Castle in the world and it’s where Her Majesty The Queen chose to spend most of her time and called home.

You might even time your visit when The new King Charles III is in residence! Look at the flag flying from the Castle’s Round Tower; if it’s the Royal Standard The King will be there too.

We loved this tour! Barry was a terrific driver & guide; engaging, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and flexible. He communicated with us in advance to confirm the details of our trip, flexed 2 days before the tour to add Stonehenge (for an additional fee) when we decided to extend our day; and really knew his way around the crowd, especially at Windsor Castle. Highly recommend him as a guide and driver, for any of his tours; if the others are half as good as this one, they will also be terrific.

Barry was a fantastic tour guide! We had an amazing time spending the day with him. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Windsor Castle and the Royal family. Barry was kind, funny, and full of information. My family all loved him and it was like spending the day with a longtime friend. It was the best part of our trip and I highly recommend this tour.

Barry was the best tour guide my family ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable and warm. He was excellent at communicating and teaching my 12 and 15 yo daughters. They thought he was a ton of fun and learned a lot!!!! My husband and I enjoyed the tour as well. His car is impeccably clean. He took photos of us the whole time and sent to us via WhatsApp. Anyone who travels as a family knows what a treat it is to have photos of all of us together! He was engaging and we will 100% do another tour with him next time we are in London.
