Overview

Discover the royal town of Windsor before stepping inside the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world.

Take Windsor at your own pace, spend quality time with a local and get your bearings on your very own private tour of Windsor. This experience combines a guided walking tour of Windsor with expert historical insight into Windsor Castle before you enter, so when you go inside, everything you see has context, stories, and meaning.

Your guide will bring Windsor to life with tales of kings, queens, scandals, ceremonies, and centuries of royal drama, while showing you the town’s most important sights. Outside the castle, you’ll get a full introduction to its history, architecture, and the Royal Family’s connection to it today.

At the end of the tour, your guide will take you directly to the entrance, and assist you in entering the castle with your tickets (included in this tour price!) allowing you to explore the State Apartments, St George’s Chapel, and more at your own pace.

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
