Windsor Castle Tour

This is your chance to experience life as a member of the British Royal family as you step into Windsor Castle. As well as being a military stronghold, fortress, and Royal household for 1000 years, Windsor Castle remains an official residence of King Charles and is used to host State Visits from presidents, monarchs, and world leaders to this very day.

I just wanted to write a quick note to say how wonderful our private tour from London to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath was. Our expert driver, Kyri was amazing. He was so personable and kind. He kept us well informed and on time. He made sure we were so well taken care of. And to the our pleasure he booked us a lunch at the cutest pub with fantastic food and stopped at a few great photo spots for us! We loved our tour and will be recommending you to others who may ask!

Explore the State Apartments of Windsor Castle

Being the location where dignitaries and Heads of State are greeted on official visits, and where Royal honors are awarded, The grand State Apartments are truly as gilded, ornate, and spectacular as you might imagine. 

The apartments are not purely for decorative purposes though, as they imbue each room with a sense of history and status. Artworks from the Royal Collections adorn the walls, featuring work from masters such as Rembrandt and Rubens, while the armory, tapestries, and luxurious furniture will all be discussed in-depth by your guide.

St George’s Chapel Tour

Inside Windsor Castle, your guide will deliver you to St George’s Chapel.

You will likely be familiar with images from the inside of the chapel, even if this is your first time ever visiting England! This is because images from the many Royal Weddings that have taken place here have been beamed all over the planet. With one of the most recent being between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle before they stepped down from their roles as Senior Royals.

Alongside containing the tombs of many hugely significant historical figures such as Henry VIII, Jane Seymour, and Charles the 1st, the chapel is a 15th-century masterpiece that deserves to be admired in its own right. The construction began in 1475 under the reign of Edward IV and was completed by Henry VIII in 1528. In the modern era, St George’s is heralded as perhaps the finest example of Georgian architecture in the country.

Our driver and guide, Kyri, was incredible. His knowledge of the London area was super and he talks about it in such a conversational way that it doesn't come across as a lesson. We started at Heathrow where he loaded our bags, we really wanted a bagel so he took us to this really cool hole in the wall Israeli shop, saw all of the Royal palaces, shopping areas, and ended our day at Windsor castle where we went on a pub crawl. All the time Kyri patiently waited for us in his clean and comfortable Mercedes van. We felt like royalty ourselves. I highly recommend this tour company and driver. Thanks for the memories Kyri you are five stars!

Drive To Hampton Court For Your Guided Tour

You will now be chauffeured to Hampton Court Palace in East Surrey. You will again be in Royal company as Hampton Court was once the official residence of King Henry VIII. Here your guide will explore the exquisite Tudor palace and the beautiful Baroque palace of William III with you.

He is an excellent ambassador!
