We enjoyed the chapel and the apartments that showed the paintings of eras gone by. We enjoyed the sense of history throughout this castle. I was happy I went through St George Chspel and saw where Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest along with her husband Prince Philip.

I wish we knew in advance that we couldn't take photos inside. And you don't actually go to the Castle. But it was still amazing. I did feel rushed. We didn't have time to go to the Doll House.

I wanted to spend full day at castle to deeply go thru everything but it was too short ie started at 14:20 n by 17:00 we had to reach the coach station. In that way it's very expensive your, the prices can be reduced further

Ticketing was fine. Venue was great. A full day Windsor specific tour would be better than the half day to provide more time to explore.

Your experience

A trip through time

Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Once you assemble at the designated meeting point in London, you will be taken to the castle in an air-conditioned wifi-enabled coach. Upon arrival, enjoy a leisurely 2 hours exploring the interiors and exteriors of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through the ornate State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by famous painters like Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. While you're here, make sure to visit the centenary celebrations at Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a beautiful model royal home that features electricity, running water, and working lifts!

Immerse yourself in British royalty

Next up, explore St. George’s Chapel, a church chapel where 10 former sovereigns are buried, including Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. See the memorials and spend some quiet time wandering around this traditional chapel. While the interiors of Windsor Castle hold many secrets and charm, the exteriors are just as beautiful. If you have time left, stroll down the tree-lined lane and enjoy the peace and natural beauty.
