I pre-purchased tickets online and had no trouble scanning them and going through the security screen. We had the audio guide, which was excellent. I was shocked to see how many people were racing through - not only was the audio guide excellent, but it was too expensive to rush! Excellent explanations and wonderful art work on view. No real wait for anything except a bit of a line for the doll house (less a wait, more a slow walk) and about a 10 minute wait for the late queen's grave at the chapel. This was a weekday. We listened to the whole audio guide, took our time, chatted, walked through the gift shop, and spent about 3 hours on-site.

Windsor was one of our top three attractions we visited while in London. We booked a private driver for a half day tour, including admission, from 12-4p. With an hour drive each way, and traffic, a half a day is not enough. We did not have enough time to go through the doll house, or have lunch in town. Windsor is a must-see and my husband and I wished we had a couple more hours in this quaint location.

The most beautiful castle. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Highlight was being able to pay respects to the late Queen in St Georges Chapel which was amazing. State rooms were stunning but a few steps to negotiate to get to them. Witnessed changing of the Guard which was an added bonus. Was very busy but did not detract from a wonderful day out. Glad we took a picnic as the queues for coffee were horrendous and slow. We opted for coffee outside the castle and there was plenty of choice and reasonably priced. Parked very close to the castle which was very expensive , paying £21 for over 5 hours but grateful at the end of the day for not having to walk to far back to the car.

Windsor Castle is such an awe inspiring place to visit. It is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, housing about 150 people. Windsor Castle has been in the British Royal Family for a milenia. Visiting here was an honor, seeing some of the events that happened here, including the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle), the funeral of Prince Philip, and the entombment of Queen Elizabeth II. I watched all of these Royal Family engagements on television in the USA, but being here in person was exciting. There was a fire at the Castle in 1992, which was fully restored. Windsor Castle has a unique historical fact, that is if you control the River Thames from the spot Windsor is at, you control 50% of the river. The other 50% is the trade system, charging ships as they pass through to get to and from London.

The Windsor Castle grounds are spectacular and the views from there are awesome. The audio tour is pretty detailed and easy to follow. We enjoyed the interior, the art, spent quite a while in the room where the gifts to The Queen from around the world are on display. The volunteer staff were very friendly and expertly answered a lot of our questions. After the tour we visited a nearby pub where we discussed the Windsor while sipping on cold beer and enjoying the antique surrounding

We took a bus tour and so had to come back within two hours. This is enough time to see the castle, but should one want to spend time in Windsor town, then the connectivity by train is also good. Plus, it might turn out cheaper. The state apartments in the castle are definitely impressive but we could not see the castle from the front as it was off limits during our visit.

The castle is a great day out. Four excellent shows, especially the jousting & lots of other activities going on, for children of all ages. Plenty of different food outlets to choose from. The staff are all very friendly & helpful.

Windsor Castle has been on our list of places to see so finally we did it. It was really incredible. I highly recommend getting the audio tour that you listen to as you go around. The chapel where the Queen is buried was our favourite and the amount of things you actually get to see and experience was really great. I would recommend for age 8 and above and give a couple of hours to see it all. It can be busy but the day we went it wasn't too bad.

I supose we should have expected it to be busy but I was slightly taken aback by the huge number of people who seemed to be let in for each half hour slot. That's fair enough - the upkeep of the castle must be enormous, and we understood. So that observation is not a complaint just a comment, really. That said, the place of course is fascinating and extraordinary and it is well-run with clear directions and a great team of people who welcome, assist and explain things. Great afternoon out. The Undercroft cafe seems what might be called "ambitiously priced" for some of the sweet treats!

This was a "must see" on our trip to England and we booked a half Day Tour with Evan Evans. It's a little bit of a drive from London, and we hit evening traffic coming home, but I highly recommend seeing Windsor Castle. You can only see rooms that are open to the public and photographs are not allowed inside. You are on a schedule so you must cover some ground. There is a room containing the Doll House which can only be described as "majestic". The castle was fascinating to see. There were plenty of coronation souvenirs in the gift shop. The negatives other than the prohibition of photography was that it is a bit of a hike from the bus parking lot to the castle and i think the guide too much time talking about extraneous things outside the Castle like the shambles house and guild hall (that no one came to see) and that cost us some time at the castle. There is near airport level security at the location and that is understandable for this place.
