Excellent Windsor Castle tour with a professional Blue Badge guide - We had an excellent tour with Sarah at Windsor Castle a few days ago! She is a highly-trained professional Blue Badge guide and a lovely person. After booking, Sarah reached out to ask if we had any particular areas of interest in order to customize our experience. During the tour, we learned so much about the history of the castle and highlights of the special objects within. Without her expertise, there is so much we would've missed! In addition to being so knowledgeable, Sarah is a very engaging and interesting guide. After that tour, we immediately asked about scheduling additional tours with her for Winchester Cathedral and Salisbury Cathedral, but she was already booked. In addition to Windsor Castle and those 2 cathedrals, Sarah can also provide tours of Hampton Court. We highly recommend Sarah and suggest booking her services in advance!

The absolute best tour of Windsor Castle - We had an amazing tour with Sarah. She helped us with transportation arrangements ahead of time, met us at the train station in Windsor, and helped us get through security. Her knowledge of British history, Windsor Castle and London in general are incredible! She made it so interesting and easy to understand. The tour was very interactive and full of humor and insight. She took amazing photos of me and my two friends at various points along the tour. Sarah is the absolute best and I would highly recommend her.
