Highlights

Tour Details

Just above the River Thames lies the majestic Windsor Castle. This castle, with over 900 years of historical and architectural significance, is the largest continuously inhabited palace in the entire world. Monarchs have lived and ruled from this castle and left their mark on England and the rest of the world. On this comprehensive tour of Windsor Castle, experience the grandeur of St. George's Chapel (No entry into St. Georges Chapel on Sundays) and the exquisite state apartments. William the Conqueror resided in this Castle, as did Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary. Take a look at the surrounding town, with its quaint shops and historic pubs.

After the Windsor Castle tour, you will enjoy a break for lunch before heading to Buckingham Palace, where Her Majesty The Queen officially resides. This portion of the tour is unescorted, but an audio guide is available inside the Palace. You will see the State Rooms, many of which are used regularly by the royal family for entertainment, state functions, and ceremonies. You will also be able to admire the wonderful pieces of art furnishing the many rooms accessible to the public. The tour ends once you reach the Palace, providing you with the freedom to explore at your leisure.

Please Note: This tour ends at Buckingham Palace and does not provide transportation back to Victoria Coach Station.
