5Well curated private tour of Windsor Castle
We had a great tour of Windsor Castle with Sarah. She is friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and she made the tour come to life with interesting stories about the castle and royals who have lived there over centuries. The tour moved at a good pace, and she asked questions along the way to understand what parts of the tour we would be most interested in. I would highly recommend.

About Windsor & Eton
Windsor and Eton face each other across the Thames west of London, one with a great royal castle and the other with a famous school.
Windsor Castle stands on a chalk ridge above the Thames and has been a royal residence for nearly a thousand years, making it the largest inhabited castle in the world. St George's Chapel, inside its walls, is a late-Gothic church with a fan-vaulted roof, the burial place of many monarchs and the setting for royal weddings. The Long Walk, a straight avenue of more than four kilometres, leads south from the castle into Windsor Great Park.
