Amazing experience visiting Windsor Castle , seeing this for the first time makes you feel proud to be British. So much history and heritage under one roof and grounds! All staff from castle to grounds were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Security tight as one can expect and appreciate. Very well organsied tour of the castle with or without guides. The portable audio guides are brilliant and easy to navigate offering different language option. Highly recommend this experience.

The whole experience of Windsor Castle was amazing. I'm proud to have such a beautiful landmark in the country I live within. The whole tour was wonderful we enjoyed it all very much. The most memorable moment was seeing where the late Queen was laid to rest.

the visit to the castle was awesome. magnificent interior spaces breathe history and endless stories. I was sorry that I was not allowed to take pictures in all the interiors. I will never see beautiful coats of arms or porcelain sets anywhere else. I was very pleased with the friendly approach of all employees and their willingness to show and explain anything. it was an awesome trip.Daniel
