Exploring Windsor Castle and the crowning glories of royal London
I’m a born and bred London tour guide who enjoys providing commentary and anecdotes about all our tour stops and London’s historic royal and palatial sites.
During this fun day-trip with a royal theme I’ll accompany you through one of England’s finest royal castles before we return to Westminster for a tour of London’s famous regal landmarks.
Windsor Castle is a magnificent royal residence with roots going back almost 1,000 years to the Norman Conquest. Major expansion by monarchs from Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart and Georgian periods enlarged and solidified this hill fortress. Extravagant in every way (it is a royal palace after all) and spanning seven royal dynasties, it is the monarch’s weekend home of choice.
The medieval St. George’s Chapel is stunning too, a kind of mini Westminster Abbey. We’ll see royal tombs of past kings and queens including Edward IV and the cousin he murdered, Henry V; as well as Henry VIII and the present monarch’s father George VI.

Itinerary:
I’m your driver to Windsor and accompany you into the Castle, where I’m not an official guide. During our Royal London tour I will be guiding and explaining as we explore.
Lunch is decided as we tour, sometimes a local pub (45 mins approx).
During the Royal tour I’ll be parking near to landmarks and we’ll then walk closer for close-up views. I’ll talk as we walk and when we’re up close. There are lots of opps for photo stops. Some walks are short and some slightly longer. Time spent viewing a landmark varies from one or two minutes to a few minutes.
Having a driver/walking guide like me conducting your tour in a London taxi is super-efficient and will help to make the day enjoyable and memorable.
TICKETS: Price does not include admission to Windsor Castle. Tickets are itemised on the booking form and are purchased by Graham in advance to avoid lines.
