A most worthwhile and enjoyable experience. - This was Day One of a five day stay and this tour was a very useful introduction to our time in Windsor. We were given a thoroughly absorbing and interesting tour of the town. Deborah is a friendly and engaging lady who speaks very well. She clearly loved her town and was keen to tell us so much about its nature and history. We learned many interesting and quirky facts, not just about the royals and the castle but also about the town and its people. Deborah also gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and answered them in detail, including the best eateries/etc to visit. Highly recommended.

Fall in love with Windsor... on foot! - I did a walking tour of Windsor and absolutely LOVED it. Touring on foot allows you to see more than you would from a vehicle. And we were able to engage in conversation with the tour guide and learn little anecdotes that we weren't expecting. Windsor is lovely and it's such a pleasure to explore on foot.

Delightful insights into Windsor & Eton - We just finished the Windsor walking tour, & it was definitely worth the time & booking. We had a wonderful guide, a native, who told us a wealth of factual info & gossipy tidbits about not only the history of Windsor (& some Eton) but also about the people & life in Windsor. She was gracious, knowledgeable & very engaging. This was well worth it, & heartily recommended.
