Overview

I love discussing England past & present with my guests while we journey to Windsor in my Mercedes. We can talk about the castle itself, or any other aspect of our long history.
As well as showing the treasures on view, I like to illustrate further aspects of the Castle's history by sharing materials I have prepared via my tablet, the excellent audio guides will take you through the State Rooms & St George Chapel where guiding is prohibited.
In St Georges Chapel you will encounter the wonder of England's finest gothic masterpiece, soak up the indefinable atmosphere that a space with so much history creates, stand on the tombs of some of the mightiest Kings of England and pay your respects to Queen Elizabeth ll, who is also buried there. After catching the changing of the guard we can wander along the north terrace at front where one can see Eton college across the Thames.
On our return to the car we will check out some of the more charming aspects of the old town of Windsor.

Within it's mighty battlements stands the iconic round tower and ancient buildings housing some of the most stunning state rooms ever created.
