Our Tour Guide actually grew up around the corner from the palace so she had many personal stories and experiences to add to the excursion! The history, the Queen, royalty life stories, and the palace itself were amazingly interesting. Highly recommend!

Did this tour on Monday 27th October. We had been to Windsor previously but had never done a tour. Am so glad we did. Windsor is a beautiful town to wander around but getting to know some of the history and stories added a whole new dimension. It was totally worthwhile, so glad we did it.

An excellent and well-planned walk led by Sophie. She shared a great deal of information with us - both historical and more current - and couldn’t have been more helpful or charming. We would highly recommend this guided walk before going to the Castle.

It was a rainy day, but we came prepared with umbrellas. Our guide Sophie was very knowledgeable about the town of Windsor and its history. We were the only two people signed up so we enjoyed a private tour!
