Over 900 years of royal history are waiting for you in Windsor Castle, which is perched high above the River Thames, just outside of London. From William the Conqueror all the way through to our current Queen, successive monarchs have lived here and left their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world. Your all-access ticket allows entrance to the castle, as well as its St. Georges Chapel and the sumptuous state apartments.
At the end of the visit, your driver will drop you off at the Tower of London. Also known as her Majesty’s Royal Fortress, the Tower of London gets its name from the white tower, found at the center of the structure, which was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. The Castle consists of multiple buildings within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. It has held an incredibly important role in the country’s history and has been besieged many times since control of the tower also meant control of the country. It symbolizes the power of the Monarchy and is where the Crown Jewels have been kept since the reign of Henry III in the 13th century. During this tour, you will get the chance to explore the different buildings and rooms of the 11th century fortress and learn about the history and curious facts of the royalty that lived there, prisoners held, executions, torture and so much more!
