ROYAL WINDSOR AFTERNOON TOUR (NO LUNCH)
Duration: 5.30 hours
This relaxing tour offers you the opportunity to spend a full afternoon in picturesque Royal Windsor. Explore the grandest State Apartments in all of England and the same rooms used by members of the Royal family.
Discover this historic town set in a glorious riverside location famous for its links to the British crown. Wander through the cobbled streets and browse the quaint tea rooms and shopping arcades as you explore this historic town.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, once a favoured weekend retreat of Queen Elizabeth II, is the largest, continuously occupied castle in the world. Explore more than 900 years of history at this royal residence and ancestral home of the British royal family.
As you walk around the impressive grounds, it is almost hard to believe that successive kings and queens have been living here for over 900 years.
Inside the State Apartments, you will have the chance to explore the same rooms used today by The King and members of the Royal Family. The rooms here were intended to rival the Palace of Versailles in France, and paintings by renowned artists such as Rembrandt and Rubens adorn the walls.
Set within the grounds of Windsor Castle, St George’s Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. Construction of the present Chapel began in 1475 under the reign of Edward IV. When visiting make sure you look up and admire the stone ceiling, which was added by Henry VII.
The Chapel has been the location of many royal weddings including TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank.
Within the Chapel are the tombs of 11 monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II, George VI, Henry VIII and Charles I.
Your Tour will finish outside London Victoria Train Station, centrally located and easily accessible by National Rail and underground.
