Private Guided Tours of Windsor Castle and St. George's Chapel

Windsor Tourist Guides Ltd can accompany your family or group on a guided tour of Windsor Castle and St George’s Chapel. The castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. As an official royal residence the castle is guarded by the King’s regiments of Foot Guards in their splendid uniform of red tunics and bearskin hats.

The castle's Round Tower stands where in the 1080's William the Conqueror sited his wooden fort, one day's march from the Tower of London. In the late 1600s Charles II built the State Apartments for entertaining; Samuel Pepys, the seventeenth-century diarist, called Windsor 'the most romantic castle in the world'. The castle we see today was finally completed by George IV in the 1820s.

St George's Chapel is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the country's highest order of chivalry (Prince William was made the 1,000th knight in 2008). The chapel, built between the late fifteenth and mid-sixteenth centuries, contains the tombs of eleven monarchs, most recent of course our longest reigning monarch Elizabeth II who was buried in September 2022 alongside her husband Prince Philip.

Please note:

• There is a separate visitor fee for entrance into the castle, which includes the State Apartments and St George's Chapel.
• Guiding is not permitted in the State Apartments.

Guided tours of Windsor Castle and St George’s Chapel take around two to three hours.
