Day trip to Buckingham Palace & Windsor Castle

This event has already passed

Take the stress out of your day with an air-condontioned coach trip to two of England's grandest royal residences - Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

Air-conditioned coach to Windsor Castle

Your early morning start will begin with a drive to Windsor Castle for a 3-hour visit to the world's oldest occupied castle.

Highlights include the sumptuous State Apartments, the beautiful Waterloo Chamber with its pictures of Wellington and his generals, and St. George's Hall where they hold the big banquets for visiting Heads of State - decorated with heraldic shields and silver suits of armour.

You'll also get to see inside St. George's Chapel where Prince Harry married Meghan, and where many of England's most famous monarchs are buried including Henry VIII, Charles II and the late Queen Elizabeth II.

After your visit inside the castle you should have plenty of time left-over to walk around the pretty cobbled streets of royal Windsor and buy some gifts from the quant souvenir shops.

State Rooms at Buckingham Palace

After re-boarding the coach you'll be driven back to Buckingham Palace - the official residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla - to enjoy a 2-hour audio tour of the opulent State Rooms.

After entering the palace you'll head into the Grand Hall and walk up the ornate staircase to the spectacular Throne Room. Then it's into the Picture Gallery lined with priceless Old Masters by the likes of Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, Vermeer and Canaletto.

Then you'll enter the Ballroom where they hold the State dinners and investitures, the State Dining Room, and Music Room where they traditionally christen the Royal babies.

The last part of the tour will take you into the White Drawing Room and past the statues and sculptures in the Marble Hall, and through the Bow Room onto the veranda overlooking the garden, where you can enjoy a cup of Earl Grey tea by the lawn.
