Thank you for visiting my ToursbyLocals page, I genuinely enjoy guiding people & sharing the unique stories and highlights of each place I visit with my clients, I love meeting visitors from all over the world and helping them discover something new makes my job rewarding and enjoyable - hopefully this is shown in my reviews so please take a moment to look at them. Having completed the world famous 'Knowledge of London' to become a London Taxi driver nearly two decades ago I changed career by becoming a Blue Badge tour guide, this was an 18 month course and involved passing 12 exams! I drive a V Class Mercedes which can carry seven people and here is a list of the sites I guide, please feel free to ask any questions: -Windsor Castle -Hampton Court Palace -Stonehenge -Oxford and Blenheim Palace -Cotswolds -Salisbury Cathedral Qualifications: -Blue Badge Tour Guide -Endorsed Windsor Castle tour guide -City of London Tour Guide -Hackney Carriage Tour Guide -Black Taxi Driver Memberships: -Association of Professional Tour Guides -Driver Guide Association

Overview of your London tour

Windsor is the largest and oldest continually occupied castle in the world having been home to the British Royals for almost 1000 years! We will visit the wonderful state rooms and get up close to the art and antiques collected by the Royal Family through out the centuries. The extraordinary Queen Mary's Dolls House is a must see, as is St George's Chapel which is built in Perpendicular Gothic style unique to Britain & is where Queen Elizabeth II is laid to rest along with Henry VIII, Jane Seymour and many other monarchs, the chapel also hosted the marriage of Harry and Meghan. While in Windsor we will view Windsor's Royal processional route, the Long Walk and see Eton, the renowned school that educated Prince William, Prince Harry and 20 British Prime Ministers. We will also go on a driving tour to Runnymede, the birthplace of English democracy, where King John sealed the Magna Carta - some what unwillingly! Please note that Windsor Castle is not open on Tuesdays & Wednesdays.

What a terrific way to see Windsor Castle. Alex was the perfect host to provide all the history and significance, while also chatting with my wife about the latest royal intrigue. The time flew by. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

Tour was the best and guide Alexander, Sam, made it over the top. Sooo much history, so much information, so much beauty. Sam moved at our pace always informing, never pushing, mixing fact & fiction (keeping us engaged) and humor. Overall a 6hr experience worth all we paid and more. The tour and the opertunity to get upclose with the history of Royals, their habits and dwellings was so enlightening, having Sam walk us through it was a treat. Cannot recommend Sam, the Tours by Locals ease of booking and the tour itself highly enough!! Thank you Sam

Alex was brilliant! His extended historic knowledge was amazing, but even better was the small very detailed stories he knew about the Royal blood line. We would without doubt recommend Alex anytime.. He was also just a really cool and nice guy!
