The size of the 13 acre Castle is breathtaking, & is the largest & oldest occupied Castle in the world & it is where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II chose to spend most of her time & called home. You might even time your visit when the new King Charles III is in residence! Look at the flag flying from the Castle’s Round Tower; if it’s the Royal Standard The King will be there too.

A Day in Windsor with Barry
Chipmoiecy,Apr 10, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Barry was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and accommodating when he spent the day with our family of 5. He thoughtfully planned our itinerary so that there were no surprises and kept the attention of an 18, 16 and 10 year old simultaneously! We will book him again for our next visit for sure.
Perfect day - Windsor tour

5.00My family enjoyed the private Windsor tour with Barry in his London black cab. It was a perfect day! As a London black cab driver, Barry is an iconic, highly trained professional who has passed the rigorous exam to memorize thousands of streets and landmarks. His amazing knowledge was on display during our detailed, personal tour through London on the way there and back and in Windsor castle, Windsor, Eton and Kensington gardens. Barry, hearing that we had just seen Paddington the musical and were big fans, made a quick photo stop at a Paddington bear statue with an iconic phone booth in the background before dropping us home as an extra bonus. He took lots of great family photos throughout the day and made the entire experience very memorable!

5.005 star guided tour!! Barry is super knowledgeable about Windsor and the Castle. In fact he’s a wealth of knowledge on a lot of topics, some you’ll see in the history books and some you won’t! Barry also gave us a great tour of Belgravia on the way out to Windsor. We also had my 83 year old mum with us and she was getting a bit tired and he took extremely good care of her. We finished up the tour with a fab lunch at the boatman and stopped off to see where the Magna Carta was signed in Runnymede. Highly recommend Barry Tours !!

5.00We booked the private Windsor tour with Barry, who picked us up at our hotel. Barry was very informative and an excellent tour guide, he even took photos of our group at key locations throughout the day. For lunch, Barry had reserved us a spot at the Boatman restaurant in which the food was delicious! Overall, I would highly recommend Barry and his tour for when you visit London. Will definitely reach out to Barry if we were to come back to London again!
Excellent tour

5.00Barry did an excellent job and we were very happy. Due to a State Dinner Windsor castle was closed unexpectedly so Barry was able to shift us to Hampton Court Palace which was just as good. He also drove us by Windsor to see the castle from the outside. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend him!
Excellent day tour with a very personable guide

5.00Barry provided an outstanding tour experience! We had planned on seeing Windsor castle but due to a state dinner the castle was unexpectedly closed. Barry had an alternate tour ready to go with Hampton Court Palace which was perfect. We really enjoyed seeing the palace and he even added a stop outside Windsor castle so we could see the outside and surrounding village. Barry was highly knowledgeable and very personable. It made for a very good day. Highly recommended!
Superb tour, 10 stars!

5.00Barry was so personable, engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining. One of us had been to Windsor three times before but Barry’s tour was the best and most informative BY FAR! He even added a few extra stops and sights to show us along the way. He gets 10 stars on a five point scale. Highly recommended.
Great Tour.
