A visit to Windsor Castle with a difference. Upon arrival in Windsor we head into the castle for a self guided multimedia tour of the castle itself. The tour is introduced by His Majesty The King and takes you through the Castle Precincts, the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel. The commentary provides a lively insight to the castle’s history, from William the Conqueror, through medieval expansion, George IV’s gothic transformation and The King’s use of the castle today. Along the route, staff of the Royal Household explain the role of the castle today as an official residence of The King and talk about their work, from arranging a State Banquet for 160 guests to restoring the historic interiors following the devastating fire of 1992. Woven into the tour are the unique sounds of the castle, from the music of St George’s Chapel choir to tunes played by the organ inside an historic clock. Following time in the castle, spend time exploring the beautiful riverside town of Windsor itself.
