    What you'll see and do

    1. Windsor Castle

      Windsor Castle is the oldest continually inhabited castle and one that has never been successfully conquered. It is the place where he Queen likes to spend her weekends. Inside the imposing walls are large courtyards and from the walls you have a great view over Windsor and beyond. The real treasures are inside of course and you will see more paintings, weapons, works of art and gold leaf than you could imagine in the state and semi-state rooms. Parts of it are surprisingly cosy but their are epic banquet halls and audience chambers too. You can also get a better look at the the Guardsmen here than at Buckingham Palace.

      120 minutes here · Admission included

    2. St. George's Chapel

      Visit a chapel where The Queen worships, where Harry and Meghan were married and which is the resting place for King Henry VIII and many others. In many ways, the highlight of the castle itself.

      25 minutes here · Admission included

    3. Windsor

      Enjoy some of the old streets of Windsor with the ancient buildings, regal statues, shops and pubs. A town where even the train station is a thing of beauty.

    Fantastic, private Windsor Castle tour.

    Fantastic private tour with hotel pickup. Our driver/guide Marty was outstanding, friendly and informative!

    Back to Windsor

    My favorite part of this tour was my guide Kevin. Having done the Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath tour (on a Sunday) didn’t get me in to the chapel. This tour is great for those who want to come back for a day in Windsor. Kevin provides detailed history from the beginning of the tour out of London and throughout the day.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Amanda! I met with Kevin yesterday whilst we were 'revising' some of our walking tours for the summer and we were chatting about you. I'm glad you had another great day and thanks so much for your review.

    Best way to see Windsor Castle

    Kevin was an awesome tour guide & made the day fun and informational. He loves history and the depth of his knowledge was impressive. It’s always refreshing to spend the day with someone who loves his job. Well worth it!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank-you so much for your wonderful review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your day in Windsor and especially your time with Kevin who is a great guide!

    Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London cost?

    +

    Prices start at £265 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; Driver/guide; and Entry Tickets. Not included: Food and drinks (unless specified); and St George's Chapel is closed on Sundays. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London include hotel pickup?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London?

    +

    Is Private Half-Day Windsor Castle, Park and Old Town Tour from London wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
