Once you managed to get into the Castle it was a lovely experience. Even though you are given a time slot to view the castle there was a wait to get in

Entry was smooth once we were directed to the correct entrance. There were times when the audio was hard to hear and because of diversions the order of the rooms did not match the audio. The Hesdout receipt did not include a bar code that needed to be scanned to get lift assistance. It was found on the printed tickets that we were given upon entering & receiving headphones.

Windsor Castle was always on my bucket list. It was everything and more. I loved the ambience, the art and tapestries. The China on display. The Order of the Garter room left me speechless, the history in that room was amazing. I enjoyed seeing Queen Mary's dolls house. My other major highlight has to be St. George's Chapel. Steeped in history. Visiting the tomb for Queen Elizabeth 11 along with Prince Philip and her parents was emotional. Visiting the tombs of all the other Royalty was an honour. Walking down the aisle where so many weddings took place was very special. The security staff and stewards made us feel so welcome. I will treasure my visit for ever.
