Overview

Enjoy a guided tour of Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel, the castle grounds and the historic town of Royal Windsor on this fascinating half-day tour.

She is now buried in the royal crypt beneath St George's Chapel

You will get to experience the beautiful gardens and grounds of this ancient castle as your guide tells you its fascinating history, from the time it was first built by William the Conqueror in 1070, to the devastating fire of 1992 to most recently where the late Queen Elizabeth II's funeral ended at St George's Chapel.

You will Explore the State Apartments, with an audio guide, where you will see the magnificent rooms.

Celeste our tour guide was wonderful: She was personable, thoughtful, and full of interesting facts about everything both in the town of Windsor as well as Windsor Castle itself along with critical artifacts inside!

Barbara regaled us with stories from ALL the royal events because she was invited and attended. We heard how the flag changed when the King was in attendance (he was that day), the queen’s funeral procession and Harry and Meaghan’s wedding as well as all the architectural changes over 1,000 years. A great tour!

Barbara, our guide, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of history and monarchy of Windsor Castle. We're very glad we chose a private tour as oppose to renting the head phones and walking by ourselves. We would have missed so much history and all the little nuances of the castle and its residents.
