Windsor Castle English Countryside Day Trip

Just 60 minutes from Central London into the wow-wonderland of Windsor-on-Thames. The King of England has made it his new home…and yes, it’s worth all the fuss. We stop at Runnymede Field where King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215, the big daddy of constitutions worldwide.
A self-guided walking tour, followed by a caffeine fix at an atmospheric English cafe, and jaw-dropping moments at the official residence of His Majesty. There’s still St. George’s Chapel, tombs of many English Kings and Queens, including the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the venue of the celeb-wedding of Harry and Meghan.

A lunch table at a relaxing riverside restaurant or maybe you prefer a traditional afternoon tearoom in the village?
Free time to visit Eton College, where 13 British Prime Ministers and Princes William and Harry studied, enjoy some shop browsing, or stroll along the River Thames.

Important: Purchase your Windsor tickets 1 hour after the start time of the tour.
