Itinerary

Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle, located just west of London and perched high above the River Thames, is home to more than 900 years of royal history. It is currently the largest continually occupied castle in the world, having been inhabited by 40 successive monarchs since William the Conqueror in the eleventh century. We will be among the first visitors to Windsor Castle, allowing you to witness firsthand the magnificence of St. George's chapel and the opulent state apartments.

Windsor is a charming town with many old-fashioned stores and taverns. It is supposed that one of them is where Shakespeare wrote The Merry Wives of Windsor!

 

Royal Residence: The oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It is the official residence of the British Royal Family and has been the home of monarchs for over 1,000 years.

 

St. George’s Chapel: Explore the St. George’s Chapel, a stunning Gothic church within the castle, which is also the site of many royal weddings, including that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It’s a place of historical significance and beauty.

 

State Apartments: Tour the State Apartments, where the royal family hosts ceremonial events. These rooms are filled with lavish décor, priceless artworks, and unique furnishings that highlight the castle’s royal heritage.

 

The Castle Grounds: Enjoy the expansive grounds of the castle, including Windsor Great Park, which provides scenic views and a relaxing atmosphere. If you’re lucky, you may witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony.

 

Buckingham Palace

We visit Buckingham Palace, the home of the British monarchy, after lunch. The Palace served as both the administrative centre and the residence of Queen Elizabeth II in London. Numerous spectacular rooms that make up the core of the working palace are visible to visitors to the State Rooms.

 

The Royal Family frequently uses these rooms for s tate gatherings, ceremonies, and official entertainment. The chambers are tastefully furnished, and the Palace guides are available to point out the many pieces of precious art.
