Itinerary

  • Windsor Castle

    The preferred weekend residence of our current King Charles III, Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Also a favorite castle of Henry VIII, the place is now his tomb along with Queen Victoria, the Queen Mother and many more royals. Wander through the stunning State Apartments and take a look at St George’s Chapel, where Harry and Meghan married. Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is a must-see, with hot and cold running water, electricity and tiny items made by 1,500 of the finest craftspeople of the 20th century.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • St. George's Chapel

    Step inside St George’s Chapel, located on the sprawling grounds, where notorious King Henry VIII and his favourite wife, Jane Seymour, are buried, as are Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. St. George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of gothic architecture in England. It has been the setting for many royal weddings and is the burial place of ten sovereigns. The Chapel is dedicated to the patron saint of the Order of the Garter. Britain's highest Order of Chivalry. *St. George’s Chapel is closed to visitors on Sundays as services are held throughout the day. Worshippers are welcome to attend the services. These occur at the following times: 08:30 – Holy Communion 10:45 – Mattins and Sermon 11:45 – Sung Eucharist 17:15 – Evensong

    10 minutes

  • Windsor Guildhall (Pass By)

    This 17th-century historic masterpiece building is situated in the High Street, only 100 metres from Castle Hill. Prince Charles married Camilla Parket Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall at Windsor Guildhall in 2005.

  • Hampton Court Palace

    You will be welcomed to the magnificent Hampton Court Palace by one of the expert Palace Hosts who will introduce you to Henry VIII’s riverside residence and set you on your way to explore the spectacular State Apartments, Tudor Kitchens and glorious gardens. A royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, Hampton Court Palace was built in 1515 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, favourite advisor to King Henry VIII. Once the most powerful man in the English court, second only to the King, Cardinal Wolsey fell out of favour with Henry after he failed to negotiate an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so he could marry his latest obsession, Anne Boleyn. After Wolsey’s death in 1530, Henry VIII took charge of Hampton Court, turning it in to a hotel, a theatre and a huge private playground, using it to demonstrate his enormous wealth.

    2 hours

Tish made our trip awesome.

Published on Sep, 2024

Tish is an amazing tour guide. She is so knowledgeable and such a great speaker, we learned so much about the places we passed on the way and about our destinations. She is super organised and did her utmost to ensure everybody's needs were met. We were very well looked after. The driver was also friendly, polite and welcoming and needs a medal for navigating the London traffic. Golden Tours is lucky to have you both and I hope that is reflected in your pay packets.

Well paced, informative tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Guide Kish and driver Koli were both excellent in their respective jobs. Kish was a non stop font of info on London neighborhoods we traveled through enroute, the history of both stops and their resident royals, and was very conscientious about keeping us on time and affording us adequate time to explore the sites with the free time we were allotted. Great itinerary and great job!
