Private tours to Windsor Castle

Private Windsor Tours

An official residence of His Majesty the King, Windsor Castle is a highlight of any visit to England.

Windsor Castle is steeped in history, and is filled with beautiful works of art. I particularly enjoy the paintings – by Rubens, Van Dyck, Lawrence, Rembrandt, Bruegel, Raphael, to name just a few. Tapestries, chandeliers, porcelain, arms and armour, antique furniture – it would be possible to spend hours in the castle, but most people are happy to simply enjoy seeing the State Apartments, where the King and Royal Family spend part of their working lives. St George’s Chapel in the castle is where Henry VIII is buried, and where royal weddings and funerals take place.

Depending on your pace, it is possible to visit the Castle in 4-5 hours and then return to London. Below are some ideas for making it a full day.

PRICES

All tours are by car, for up to 6 people, with your own private driver-guide. Tour prices range between £555-£850. Travel by public transport could be a more economical option if you only wanted to visit Windsor Castle.

Cliveden, once home to the Astor family, and set in stunning gardens, is now a hotel that is the epitome of luxury. Enjoy the extensive gardens, and maybe indulge in a decadent afternoon tea. This is where Meghan Markle stayed with her mother before her marriage to Prince Harry.

Private Tours to Windsor Castle & Horse-drawn Carriage in Windsor Great Park

Horse-drawn Carriage in Windsor Great Park

Take a horse-drawn carriage ride in the parkland surrounding Windsor Castle. You’ll see the homes of staff, friends and family of the Queen. Your carriage driver is up to date on royal gossip, as well as having a wealth of knowledge about the trees and wildlife in the Park.

This would fit well with a visit to the Castle, and either Savill Garden or Cliveden. The one hour carriage ride is £100
