Windsor Castle Tour from London with Optional Lunch
London
6 hours 30 minutes
Begin your excursion in central London, where you’ll board a comfortable, climate-controlled coach headed for Windsor—home to the storied Windsor Castle. En route, discover how this nearly thousand-year-old fortress, built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, holds the title of the world’s oldest occupied castle and remains a favored retreat for Queen Elizabeth II. Upon arrival, explore the castle at your own pace. Wander through the lavish State Apartments, showcasing artwork by renowned masters such as Rembrandt and Canaletto, and learn about the 39 monarchs who have called these rooms home. Don’t miss St. George’s Chapel, a soaring Gothic gem that houses the tombs of 10 English sovereigns, including the notorious Henry VIII. Afterwards, take some free time to enjoy the riverside town of Windsor. Browse its charming shops or catch a glimpse of the house believed to have inspired William Shakespeare while he wrote ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor.’ Then, return to London and arrive in the upscale Knightsbridge area. Conclude your tour by savoring a classic fish-and-chips lunch at the St. George’s Tavern in Victoria. (Note: Lunch may occasionally be served at a different central London pub.)
