Before we start our Windsor Castle Tour, you have a truly spectacular view.  Marvel at the medieval castle, nestled right in the heart of a modern town centre. 

Once we clear security, we are inside the Royal residence with a vast area to explore. Let’s start by taking a short stroll to see if His Majesty is in today? Moving on we pass the original parts of the castle, dating from the 11th Century.  Before moving inside, there’s also time here to admire the perfectly manicured gardens.

Visiting Windsor Castle 

Your private guide can explain why the castle was built here, then you can enjoy the views from the North terrace 30m (100ft) above the River Thames. When entering the State Apartments prepare to be dazzled by the decorative gold, rooms truly fit for a King or Queen. There is so much to see on a Windsor Castle tour, where else can you find pieces by Titian and Rembrandt hanging next to each other? All the artefacts are part of the Royal collection, they are moved around the castle and sometimes loaned to other exhibits.  Don’t worry though, your Blue Badge Guide will make sure you see the best of what’s on display during your private tour of Windsor Castle. 

Leaving the State Apartments we have time to visit the gift shop, maybe you’d like your own gold ornament to dazzle your guests at home! 

Royal Weddings & Burials

Now is our chance to visit somewhere famous from more recent history, St Georges chapel. Venue for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but also many more weddings over the years. We are aware of its recent use as a working church, but your private guide can tell you much more about this beautiful gothic structure. Final resting place for several British Monarchs including our late Queen Elizabeth II, mind your step, don’t tread on the tomb of Henry VIII as we make our way around!

Before our tour leaves the Windsor Castle grounds, you have a chance to take a picture of the Kings’s guards.  These soldiers in their beautiful uniforms, make sure all is safe within the walls of the Royal residence. 

Exploring Windsor and Eton

Back in the town centre, we start our stroll. Let’s explore the shortest street in England, it will take only seconds. Walking towards the Long Walk we’re treated again to spectacular views of Windsor Castle. This 2.64-mile walk is lined mostly with oak trees and still used today by the Royal Family, as they make their way to annual horse racing events at nearby Ascot.

Walking across a Windsor Bridge over the River Thames we arrive in Eton.  Your guide will explain all about the education pupils receive here at Eton College and tell you about the Old Etonians, many of whom you will recognise, such as:

  • Boris Johnson
  • Prince William
  • George Orwell
  • Bear Grylls
  • Ian Flemming

We then have time to browse Eton High Street admiring the local architecture and the exterior of this famous college.

Your guide will escort you back to Windsor town and happily help with directions or suggestions for the rest of your stay.  If you enjoyed your Tour of Windsor Castle, we’re sure you’d also enjoy a Tower of London Tour.

Perfect day We had a day tour of Westminster Abbey and London Tower with Marina today. It was outstanding! Can't say enough good words about it. Not every tour guide can keep 8 y.olds interested for two hours. She did it for the whole day! Marina is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She adjusted the tour to our liking and was very attentive to everybody's needs. Hope one day we will have more tours with her! Thank you Marina and "Let me show you London" company!

So worth it! Excellent, in depth tour. Our guide, Denisa, was knowledgeable and entertaining. We had 2 adults and 3 teens, and she kept all of us engaged in the experience. She customized the tour for our interests/ages. We visited the Tower of London, saw the Tower ravens (Poppy came out to meet us), stopped at Traitors’ Gate, explored the Bloody Tower… We even saw “the word,” the ceremony in which a Beefeater gives Tower Soldiers the new password for the day. Last, we saw the crown jewels. The collection and it’s history are really something! We thoroughly enjoyed our time!

Amazing Visit to London I took a group of first time London visitors to the city in June. Because we had limited time there (just 1.5 days), I decided to enlist the help of Denisa at Let Me Show You London and we ended up arranging two private tours - one private tour of the British Museum on our arrival afternoon and a full day tour of Westminster, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London. Marianna was our guide for both tours and she was amazing. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she made both tours great. We even experienced a fire alarm at the British Museum and she was proactive in talking to the guards to see if and when we had to evacuate and once we did evacuate, she again didn’t hesitate to ask how long it would take to re-enter. Even I, who has been to London numerous times and who has visiting all of the places before, thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Since it was warm and we walked a lot, she was very conscientious about our energy level and made quite a few adjustments at the Tower of London to minimize steps, but again the tour was still fascinating. I would definitely work with both Denisa and Marianna again in the future.

The highlight of our UK trip This was an unforgettable experience for the whole family, including our 8 year old daughter. Our tour guide Lucy was excellent, and it really helped to have an expert explain each of the areas we explored. There is so much we would have missed without her. She really brought the place to life with her storytelling and expertise. Did I mention how well the kids liked her too! If you are going to splurge on one thing in London, this is it.
