A definite highlight stopping by here. Soak in some of the CROWN history. We got to tour the different rooms along with the church where the great Harry and Me-ghan got married. read more

Visiting Windsor is an absolute must when coming to London. It's not as packed as Buckingham Palace, which I visited as well, and it's in a lovely town, with very nice people. It really was such a perfect day trip from London. We arrived by train from the London Paddington station and immediately purchased inexpensive, cute gifts at the souvenir shop. The castle is noticeable from any angle but the entrance is by the giant statue of Queen Victoria. Upon entering the Castle, security checks your bags and then you're through. Everyone that works there is very nice, and you feel regal upon entering. We had never been there, so we definitely participated in the audio tour. The audio tour is great. You're given something similar to an iPod and a pair of headphones. With this combo, it's easy to navigate the tour. Arriving to St. George's Chapel, your'e immediately told no photographs, which is terrible because Windsor is truly awe inspiring monument and should be remembered. St. George's chapel gave me all the feels when I saw Queen Elizabeth II buried alongside Prince Philip and not too far away, her parents King George with Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. It was truly an impressive sight. The craftsmanship in that chapel is excellent. Seeing the individual banners was very interesting. I especially loved Queen Mary's doll house. I wish I would've been able to photograph the dolls house because it truly is magnificent. Every item is made to scale, completely unique to the castle, and the dolls house is stunning. The rest of the castle is extraordinary. The artwork in the different rooms, halls and ceilings is absolutely beautiful. The king's rooms, sitting rooms, and other rooms are equally exquisite. The weapons and armor are also a sight to see. Overall, Windsor is a definite bucket list item. Lots to see, lots to do, and several places to eat within the castle and around Windsor. Such a wonderful experience. read more

I was thrilled to visit Windsor Castle on our trip to London from the USA. We booked a day trip combined with Stonehenge. We arrived at Windsor as planned. After getting our bearings and picking up our audio headsets, we started at the apartments. It was an amazing tour. Sadly, that's all we could see. Windsor shut down 1 hour early for a private event. We had no warning when we entered and neither did our your company. We were unable to see the dollhouse or go into Saint George's Chapel, which is what I mostly wanted to see! (Shout out to Harry and Meghan!) It was extremely frustrating and disappointing. The employees at Windsor were quite pushy for us to leave as well. I had nothing to eat there and the atmosphere was stuffy and unfriendly. read more

Windsor Castle - the world's oldest and largest occupied castle Truly amazing to walk through so much history! Fun fact: the castle has been home to 40 monarchs over 1,000 years and even survived a couple of medieval sieges. read more

Another Castle, LOL. Quality/Quantity - Hung out at Windsor today and of course had to visit the castle. But then they were closed today!!! How and why would you close the castle??? Good thing that there is so much to do around the castle, see my Yelp pictures for a few samples. Churches, museums, colleges, gardens, theaters, restaurants and bars, etc. And of course, the river. Atmosphere - Huge, very popular castle. See pictures for a small sample of what to do at the castle and around the castle. Some construction on and around the castle. Service - N/A, check hours and specific days before coming... Also, the guard changes at 10am. Price - N/A today as they were closed. Owner Comment - 4 stars because it was OUR fault to come without checking if they were open. I assumed that they were open 7 days a week. read more

I took the train to get here. It was a beautiful ride. When you get off at the station you walk out onto a cobblestone path of shops and eateries. There are rows of both to choose from. There is also a nice walk up to the gates of the Windsor Castle. The castle is breathtaking with culture and history. A must see on your visit to London. read more

It was a-ok. And the royal family happened to be there at the time we were touring, so we got a couple glimpses as they loaded up the cars to head to Royal Ascot. We lucked in to seeing the changing of the guard here (or at least see them as they were making a round). The Windsor area is a relatively small town/suburb which makes it a little potentially challenging for tour groups, especially those with older folks or people with mobility issues. Coaches can't go beyond the train station lot and then one (or groups) need to walk to the castle....which is a bit of a ways. I did not have issues with this, but some in our group struggled with the stairs to the train tracks, the walk through the train station/mall-like station, the cobblestone roads and ways and the hills up to the castle....which was then followed by all the walking around on the grounds of the castle. This is simply to call attention for folks who might have accessibility issues or struggles. It might be wise to arrange a taxi from the parking lot to closer to the entrance of the castle. What helped my experience here is that it was a spectacularly gorgeous day. So walking around in the sun, swanning about royal grounds was a delight. But in comparison to other castles I have visited, Windsor left me wanting more. I think the only way to really get something out of it, beyond just being at a castle, is to wait in another line to get the free audio tour. I expected there to be some...ANY...posted information in areas around. And there was nothing beyond marking who was buried or memorialized where in the chapel. The royal apartments are lovely but are just bursting with old paintings of old dead white guys and again...no information on them at all unless you had the audio guide. Photos are forbidden anywhere inside, so you can't even take pictures to look up later. I hadn't gotten the guide so I was just floating around, a bit bored. I ended up leaving the grounds and getting lunch somewhere nearby before meeting up with my group at our agreed time. I had a good enough time and was glad to visit a castle on my visit to London. I can't speak to whether it is worth the cost, since it was arranged for us and included in the overall trip price. If you are really in to castles or the British royals, this is well worth your time. I might have chosen a different castle or historical site to explore, had it been more in my own hands. Still...not mad that I did it. read more

This was a rather nice pub to stop off at while I was trekking along the path known as the long walk. Okay, I wouldn't exactly call it halfway, probably a quarter of the way, but hey, at least there is one pub that I can stop at, especially when it happens to be rather hot. Anyway, it's quite a nice pub, with quite a nice atmosphere about it. The service wasn't bad, and they had a nice beer garden as well. read more

An amazing place of history stacked with so much information! Sadly we were there the day HRH Queen Elizabeth passed, it was so nice to see her Coronation robes and jewells. The audio guided tour loads you up on information, without being overwhelming. The castle is closed currently due to her death, but I do look forward to reusing my ticket for another visit hopefully around Christmas time once it's reopened. Windsor castle and Windsor town is a wonderful place to visit! read more

This is a great must see if you are in the area. I booked seeing the castle through a tour company so I was very limited on the amount of time I had to see the castle. Our tour only gave us about 1-1.5 hours before we had to hit the road again. I didn't waste time with any audio tour and just looked at what we wanted. We were able to see the royal apartments and the Chapel. I would love to come back another time while not in a time crunch to be able to enjoy the castle more. read more

It's nice to find a pub where one can watch football that is not a chain or a dive bar. The atmosphere is homey and the inside is comfortable. There's a generous patio too. I suppose the only downside of the space is that the cigarette smoke from outside wafts in but it's not a dealbreaker. Otherwise it is very clean and downright cozy. There's a food menu but the new chef was just starting the day we had a drink there and they weren't serving, so that's a bit of an unknown, I'm afraid. The pub boasts a fair selection of taps and the staff was kind. Nice touch: leave the pub and walk across the street to the Long Walk to enjoy a spectacular view of the real Windsor Castle as you return to town. read more

First class pub in windsor, lovely cosy bar and tables inside, and a nice 'veranda' with big tables outside overlooking the long walk (although there is a fairly busy road between the pub and the park!) Its a fantastic stop off point on your way back to town after a walk through the great park. They provide a few newspapers.. so you can enjoy an afternoon drink out in the sunshine catching up on the days news/gossip. Short but sweet wine list (4-5 reds and the same number of whites), which is incredibly affordable, and covers the major varietals They are willing to give jugs of iced tap water too. Menu looks great (kind of intro level gastopub grub), they have occasional theme nights- which the bar man told me were essential to book forin addition thursdays is steak night (£25 for 2 steaks and 2 glasses wine) and fridays its 'fish friday' (£10 for two courses) Bar staff are friendly, plus they show all the major football/rugby matches. Far enough away from the town centre that its not a tourist trap and has a welcoming atmosphere. Great for a group meet up, but would also work for a couple and you would even feel comfortable as a 'one', I really like this place!... As a final note they really have everything covered even the loos are great: spacious, clean and the ladies have flowers in! read more
