Not to be missed. Windsor Castle is a must for anyone visiting London for the first time. Although it is just outside of London it is worth making the extra effort to get there. Just a tour around the apartments and a look around st George's chapel, you can see why many monarchs have found this to be their favourite home. If History and art are your thing, make sure you give yourself 3 to 4 hours to have a good look around.I met one family who had been there nearly 6 hours. A great day out.

There was a massive queue to get in , done on time slots. We were told to queue at 11.45 as we were 12oclock. When we got to the front we were told we were too early and to rejoin the queue. I was not feeling well at this stage and told them so. We were taken to the side entrance and got straight in. The staff were so attentive. Throughly enjoyed the castle and all it has to offer. Great value. We also saw the Changing of the guard which was an added bonus.

Pre purchasing tickets for Windsor Castle gave us easy access on the day. We spent 5 hours visiting the State Apartments & the Chapel which were well worth the visit. It was also good to spend sometime in the grounds outside. The staff were very helpful & although there were queues they seemed to move quite quickly. I would highly recommend visiting Windsor Castle.

    What did we NOT like about this extraordinary experience?! We were so glad not to have missed seeing this historical Castle. Everything we saw was simply majestic. And we were fortunate to see the Changing of the Guards in all its glory. One incredible memory to last a lifetime.

    Fantastic castle because of its architectural beauty and history. Inside are many historical artifacts of all kinds belonging to the royal family. Mandatory stop for those coming to London also because of the ease of getting there by the 702 bus.

    Windsor Castle was beautiful and full of history. The inexpensive guide books made up for not being able to take pictures indoors.
