Experience Overview:
Private Half-day Tour Of Windsor CastleI love discussing England past & present with my guests while we journey to Windsor in my Mercedes. We can talk about the castle itself, or any other aspect of our long history that may interest you, from the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Britain.
As well as showing the treasures on view, I like to illustrate further aspects of the history of this ancient place by sharing materials I have prepared via my tablet, talking guests through the history personally, although audio guides are also available for state rooms & St Georges Chapel.
In St Georges Chapel we encounter the wonder of England's gothic masterpiece, soak up the indefinable atmosphere that a space with so much history creates, and stand on the tombs of some of the mightiest Kings of England. After catching the changing of the guard we can wander along the north terrace, gaze across the Thames to Eton before you take in the splendours of the State rooms and St Georges Hall .
