Barbara’s knowledge and delivery had us traveling through time. In each area on the castle we felt like we were there: after the fire; at Harry and Meaghan’s wedding and the funeral of Queen Elizabeth . In the last 12 months we have been on 10 contex travel tours. All were wonderful, our Windsor castle tour was by far the best one largely due to the insight and presentation from Barbara.

Don’t just take our word for it
This private tour was the highlight of our family trip to London. We had car service and during the ride to Windsor our driver shared lots of knowledge about London from how the housing works to day to day life, parking and lots of other information to help us understand how things work in London and the outskirts. Once we arrived in Windsor, we met Barbara who led us straight into the castle and grounds. I cannot stress enough how much information Barbara had and gave to us on this wonderful morning visit. It was truly the best part of our trip and we have recommended this tour and Barbara to our friends who will visit soon.
Our tour of Windsor Castle was truly enjoyable. Barbara was an exceptional guide. She was knowledgeable, personable, and everyone knew her there so we felt like VIPs! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Barbara!!
