Itinerary

Duration: 7 to 8 hours (approximately)
  • 1
    Windsor Castle

    We visit the amazing Windsor Castle, the family home to British kings and queens for over 1,000 years. The size of the 13 acre Castle is breathtaking, and it is the largest and oldest occupied Castle in the world and it’s where Her Majesty The Queen chose to spend most of her time and 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.

    3 hours • Admission ticket not included

    Thames Charters - Windsor

    We then walk alongside The River Thames watching the boats and wildlife including “The King’s Swans” and cross the bridge which separates Windsor from Eaton (home of Prince William’s private school!)

    20 minutes • Admission ticket included
  • 3
    Windsor

    We tour the small town of Windsor immediately upon leaving the Castle. We tour the small quaint streets and shops (including the smallest street in Uk). We also see The Long Walk entrance to The Castle and a view to Frogmore, where Harry and Megan once resided!

    30 minutes • Admission ticket free

    Runnymede National Trust

    PLUS Either on our way to or back from Windsor we visit the JF Kennedy and Magna Carter memorials. The JFK memorial sits on an acre of land designated to the USA from the UK to remember one of the greatest leaders of modern times. The Magna Carta statue was designed in 1957 to honour democracy and liberty charter first signed here in 1215 by King John and honoured by The American Bar to this day.

    20 minutes • Admission ticket free

    Kensington Palace

    Make Kensington Palace your drop off point and maybe have lunch there in the outstanding gardens or restaurants on your way back to Central London. Kensington Palace is where Princess Diana lived and where Prince William and lovely Kate resided with their beautiful children before moving to Windsor. I will walk you up through the Royal Kensington Gardens and introduce you to the Palace and grounds. * Entrance to the Palace and museum is optional and ticket only.
