| Windsor and Eton
Our first stop will be Windsor Castle where you will visit
the largest “continuously lived in for many centuries”
castle in the world. In visiting the Castle you will see the
Dolls House, the State Apartments St, George’s Chapel
where Charles and Camilla recently got their blessing and
many of the other rooms where the finest silver and porcelain
in the world is on show. Famous paintings, armours and fine
furniture can be seen amid great halls where State dinners
have been served hundreds of times in the past and present.
Don’t forget to ask the driver the story behind the
four pillars holding up the Town Hall! The few streets around
the Castle are particularly interesting with their old cobbled
paving with many traditional shops including the “Crooked
House” which is a real treat to see.
Eton is a few steps away just across the Thames, over a very
pretty Windsor and Eaton Bridge, where just before it, on
the left, you can gaze at Sir Christopher Wren’s dwelling
home, now turned into a very attractive Hotel. In Eton there
are a number of very interesting shops and of course the well
known Eton College where many eminent personalities were graduated
there. On a “school” day you can see many students
in their uniform going about their business from one building
to another.
Because these are individual tours, (up to 16 persons), the
minibuses used for these is far more versatile than the usual
large and cumbersome coaches, so we can take you to see places
where otherwise many tourists undoubtedly miss out.
One other great advantage is that we can stop anywhere you
choose rather than the pre-arranged, obligatory stops tourists
have to do when in larger groups.
The duration of the tour is 4 hours and driver will make
sure your visit will be very enjoyable. |
