Windsor&Eton day trip from London: Royals and Commons
A medieval fortress with turrets and arrow slits, kings and queens - a mixture the real and the romantic. Quaint town of Windsor with its cobbled streets and ancient pubs, magnificent vistas of Windsor Great Park, quirky ancient ceremonies and royal secrets. Windsor Castle - a home to our royal family for over 900 years, the favourite residence of the Queen. A picturesque stroll to Eton town and stories about the famous Eton College - school of the ruling elite for nearly 600 years.

Tour Important Information
Meeting time and point is calculated presuming that you are staying in central London, travelling to Windsor by car and I am collecting you from your hotel. Otherwise I would meet you at Paddington Station in London or at railway station in Windsor if you are travelling from elsewhere. This tour can be customised in various ways and there are many possible versions of it. While the castle is closed during the pandemic, we can have a shorter walking tour around Windsor and Eton towns. The price would be adjusted accordingly. The Windsor Great Park is worth exploring: it is possible to do it by car stopping for short walks, or a hiking type long walk.
Important message from the guide
If travelling outside London I can arrange a car or a minibus with a chauffeur for your comfort. Extra fee would be applied. Please let me know in advance.
If using public transport to travel outside London, I would expect you to cover my travel expenses.
