Windsor is one of the most popular destinations for our popular guided tours. With its rich English history and lively shopping and dining scene, it’s no wonder that international and native visitors alike love to take a chauffeur-driven tour around Windsor.

Windsor is home to two of the UK’s top 20 visitor attractions – Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor. Whilst these two attractions might seem very different, they do fascinate visitors of all ages, and we’ve taken many passengers to both! Windsor Castle, of course, is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the official residents of the Queen. It has existed for nearly 1000 years and covers an area of five hectares, comprising state apartments, treasures from the Royal Collection, St George’s Chapel and Queen Mary’s Dolls House.

Another site often associated with the Queen is Ascot Racecourse, home of the famous Royal Ascot races each year. Even if you aren’t aristocratic enough to receive an invitation to the Royal Enclosure, you can still visit the racecourse in a chauffeur-driven luxury car. We’re sure that the Queen would approve!

Eton College, the famous public school, is also in Windsor and is another great draw for tourists. The school has educated many world leaders, including David Cameron, and continues to fascinate people with its traditions and air of exclusivity.
