I wish we knew in advance that we couldn't take photos inside. And you don't actually go to the Castle. But it was still amazing. I did feel rushed. We didn't have time to go to the Doll House.

I wanted to spend full day at castle to deeply go thru everything but it was too short ie started at 14:20 n by 17:00 we had to reach the coach station. In that way it's very expensive your, the prices can be reduced further

Windsor Castle and Stonehenge were excellent. But very disappointed at Bath as unable to see the baths . Many tourists from the same same tour in our bus were able to book tickets to enter the baths and it was included . But our booking on the same day with same tour did not offer it at booking . So while they went off to see the baths we were left on our own without guide to do our own thing . No tickets were even available to buy . Not happy at all and spoilt it for me . Why was it not offered to all the tour ? Missed out !

A trip through time

Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Once you assemble at the designated meeting point in London, you will be taken to the castle in an air-conditioned wifi-enabled coach. Upon arrival, enjoy a leisurely 2 hours exploring the interiors and exteriors of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through the ornate State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by famous painters like Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. While you're here, make sure to visit the centenary celebrations at Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a beautiful model royal home that features electricity, running water, and working lifts!

Immerse yourself in British royalty

Next up, explore St. George’s Chapel, a church chapel where 10 former sovereigns are buried, including Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. See the memorials and spend some quiet time wandering around this traditional chapel. While the interiors of Windsor Castle hold many secrets and charm, the exteriors are just as beautiful. If you have time left, stroll down the tree-lined lane and enjoy the peace and natural beauty.
