Visit Windsor Castle with a Private Half Day Tour

Explore the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle, which also happens to be The King’s favourite weekend residence. Home to 39 British monarchs over the past 900 years, Windsor Castle is brimming with both history and splendour. Built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, the castle is still a top choice of residence of the royal family. This sprawling grand home covers an area of 13 acres and overlooks charming Windsor town. Enjoy a private half day tour of the castle with exploration of the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel.

The State Apartments
Once you have marvelled at the incredible architecture of the castle exterior, it’s time to see how the royals live. Step inside the heart of the working palace – the marvellous State Apartments. Regularly used for ceremonial and official occasions, the Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection. During your Windsor Castle tour, try and spot the paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Leonardo da Vinci that hang from the walls! During the winter months the richly decorated Semi-State Rooms are added to the visitor route.

Windsor Castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and that when the State Apartments are closed the Precincts, Drawings Gallery will continue to be open.

St George’s Chapel
St George’s Chapel is an imposing Gothic building and the resting place for several British monarchs. These include Edward IV, who built the Chapel, Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II. Services are held regularly, and this quiet church is a peaceful addition to a Windsor Castle visit. It also served as the wedding venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

St George’s Chapel is usually closed to visitors on Sundays as services are held throughout the day.
