I am a specially accredited Castle guide. Friendly, helpful and Knowledgeable about its extensive History.
The trip is a half day to oldest/longest inhabited castle in the world, more than 900 years old. Visit inside of the Castle containing many treasures, the essence of a medieval castle, overlooking beautiful River Thames and 5000 acre Windsor Great Park. It is a huge building, the former Queen spent most of her "off duty" time in private apartments here. Much to see in the large public areas and "State Apartments", crammed full of valuable furniture, world class paintings, artefacts, armour. Castle is situated in the heart of the ancient old town of Windsor, with buildings dating back nearly 600 years in a warren of alleyways.

The compact town lends itself to exploration. It is possible to stroll by the River, visit famous adjacent village of Eton, known for its world famous school.
Castle is closed to visitors each week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
