Incredible knowledge, incredible fun, worth every penny

Published on Feb, 2025

Sarah is a fantastic guide. Her knowledge is exquisite. Her tours are like walking around with a historian, because she is one due to her certification and training, plus prior experience, with all things English history. Her timing is impeccable and she's a pleasure to be with. 3 hours flies by and your head is left with immense knowledge making you want to do another tour. We will be booking her again for another tour of another fabulous Crown castle.

The ONLY way to see Windsor inside and out!

Published on Dec, 2024

Sarah was an absolute delight, and this tour was the ONLY way to see Windsor from top to bottom. The state rooms were had more intimate feel than Buckingham Palace but still with the expected “wow factor”. Sarah was one of the most personable guides we had in the UK, and we cannot wait to recommend her and this specific tour to friends who are planning trips!
