The Windsor and Maidenhead area is alive with history. There’s so much to discover that you’ll want to get the most out of your visit.

The choice is yours!

Guided walking tours of Windsor and Eton

Whether you are a small group of friends or family or a larger group or corporate booking, a guided tour can be tailored to your interests and fit perfectly into your itinerary.

Themed tours, such as evening ghost tours, are fun and offered by many guides. Tours are available in different languages; just browse the list of guides below and make an enquiry.

Windsor horse-drawn carriage rides

A guided tour in a horse-drawn carriage is one of the nicest ways to see the area and admire the beauty of Windsor Great Park.

There are two carriage companies in the area – Windsor Carriages and Ascot Carriages – both of whom will take you on a trip to remember.
