Did you know?

The royal family’s former name used to be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. In 1919, the royal family adopted the name Windsor, inspired by the castle.

More than 10 monarchs have been buried in Windsor Castle, including Charles I, Edward IV, Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth II.

During World War II, the royals hid at Windsor instead of Buckingham Palace. The young princesses, including the future Queen Elizabeth II, had to sleep in the dungeon.

Windsor Castle has the oldest working kitchen in the entire UK, dating back to the 1360s.

The castle is home to 'An Old Woman' by Rembrandt, 'Holy Family with Saint Francis' by Rubens, 'Charles I in Three Positions' by Van Dyck, and several paintings by Canaletto.

Our visit to LEGOLAND Windsor was a fantastic family experience. My child especially loved the LEGO-themed rides, attractions and Miniland. The whole day was fun, well organised and full of memorable moments. Booking through Headout was easy and convenient, which made the experience even better.

Tickets booking through headout app is hassle free. Just browse the attractions you want visit book your preferred slot and bam you are ready to go. No need to wait in the long queues for your favorite attractions. We visited the London eye and the tower of London museum. Make sure you reach atleast 10-15 min before the scheduled time. Even if you reach very early like half an hour the staff simply scans the ticket and lets you through. You can also download the tickets in the app so you can still show them even if there are problems with your cellular network. Because of this app we had a very good experience

Much cheaper than even booking direct on Kew Gardens website. Worth the visit and loads of fun. The treetop walk, woodland walk and plant life is absolutely stunning. The new kids play area is amazing too!

Perfectly organised tour. We had a great day in Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Oxford. Our tour guide was Josh and he gave us many interesting informations about destination and places we visited but also about London and great places to visit after the tour. He also speaks perfectly spanish so he can guide english and spanish groups. I highly recommend this tour.👌 P.S. This tour is not for people who have a habit of being late because if you want to see all these destinations in one day, you need to respect the timetable.
