Description
Departing from Central London, your driver will take you straight to Windsor Castle for an extended visit. Upon arrival at Windsor Castle audio guides are available in different languages.
Windsor Castle
Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Dating back to Norman times, with sweeping landscaped gardens and turreted Round Tower, it’s easy to see why it’s the Queen’s favorite weekend residence. Enjoy a fascinating through-the-keyhole peek at the lavish State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, and visit St. George’s Chapel, the atmospheric final resting place of former monarchs including Henry VIII. You can visit Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a truly incredible structure complete with working lifts, running water, electricity and wine bottles, all in miniature!
This tour is unescorted.
This tour finishes at approximately 7.00pm
Windsor Castle closures: As Windsor Castle is a working royal palace, sometimes the entire Castle or the State Apartments within the Castle need to be closed at short notice.
25 and 26 December - Castle completely closed.
Departure point: Bus Stop 1, Bulleid Way, 123-151 Buckingham Palace Rd, Victoria, London, SW1W 9SR

We enjoyed it
Came away with a good impression. We learned more about the city in a few hours than from three guidebooks. The ground staff were friendly from first contact. The visit Queen Mary's Dolls' House and St George's Chapel is a smart touch. There were several of us and we could not get seats together.

Great service
Highly recommended, no reservations. The guide knew exactly what to include, it never dragged. The visit Queen Mary's Dolls' House and St George's Chapel is worth it on its own. We had no idea about the history of Vários Idiomas. Five well earned stars.

Nos gustó
Nos fuimos conformes. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Nos sirvió para decidir a dónde volver el resto de la semana. De todo el recorrido, Vários Idiomas es lo que más recuerdo. El wifi que prometían no funcionaba. Recomendable en general.

Muito bem organizado
Foi o melhor dia da nossa viagem a Londres. O preço é honesto pelo que se recebe. Muito mais tranquilo que negociar um táxi na saída do aeroporto.

We enjoyed it a lot, with a couple of small niggles. The guide leaned on a script quite a bit, but explained things well. The venue in Windsor Castle State Apartments has a beautiful setting. We would have liked more variety in the main course. Recommended overall.
