The castle was a lot of fun with beautiful views. The que at the North Terrace was very long. It was too cold and windy to leave visitors standing outside for more than an hour, but we stood there anyway. Photography was forbidden in the castle. That was a big disappointment. We would have appreciated more information from Headout as we have never traveled by rail.

Windsor Castle was magnificent! Just so amazing to see all of that history and artifacts. Mind boggling how old the castle was. We even got to see some guard changing or presentation while there. We also walked around town and it was so quaint and cute.

The visit to Windsor Castle was very enjoyable. The entry process was well managed. Helpful staff, wonderful exhibits. The only downside was the expensive food and drink. £6 for an egg salad sandwich is really taking the mickey. So we waited until we left the castle to have lunch in a more reasonably priced pub.

Even though we bought a ticket for 11 a.m., we had to wait an hour to get into the castle; then we waited nearly 45 minutes in the cold just to see the dollhouse... On top of that, the entrance area is particularly chaotic: there are no p The fact that we couldn't take any photos was disappointing. The ticket price is truly exorbitant
