La residencia de fin de semana preferida de nuestro actual Rey Carlos III, el Castillo de Windsor es el castillo habitado más antiguo y más grande del mundo. También un castillo favorito de Enrique VIII, el lugar es ahora su tumba junto con la Reina Victoria, la Reina Madre y muchos más miembros de la realeza. Pasee por los impresionantes apartamentos estatales y eche un vistazo a la capilla de San Jorge, donde se casaron Harry y Meghan. La casa de muñecas de Queen Mary es una visita obligada, con agua corriente fría y caliente, electricidad y pequeños artículos hechos por 1500 de los mejores artesanos del siglo XX.
Ingrese a la Capilla de San Jorge, ubicada en los extensos terrenos, donde están enterrados el famoso Rey Enrique VIII y su esposa favorita, Jane Seymour, al igual que la Reina María y la Reina Isabel, la Reina Madre. La Capilla de San Jorge es uno de los mejores ejemplos de arquitectura gótica en Inglaterra. Ha sido el escenario de muchas bodas reales y es el lugar de entierro de diez soberanos. La Capilla está dedicada al santo patrón de la Orden de la Liga. La más alta Orden de Caballería de Gran Bretaña. *S t. La Capilla de George está cerrada a los visitantes los domingos ya que los servicios se llevan a cabo durante todo el día. Los fieles pueden asistir a los servicios.

Este histórico edificio de obras maestras del siglo XVII está situado en High Street, a solo 100 metros de Castle Hill. El príncipe Carlos se casó con Camilla Parket Bowles, duquesa de Cornwall en Windsor Guildhall en 2005.
Uno de los expertos anfitriones del palacio le dará la bienvenida al magnífico Palacio de Hampton Court y le presentará la residencia junto al río de Enrique VIII y lo pondrá en camino para explorar los espectaculares apartamentos estatales, las cocinas Tudor y los gloriosos jardines. Un palacio real en el distrito de Richmond upon Thames, el Palacio de Hampton Court fue construido en 1515 por el cardenal Thomas Wolsey, consejero favorito del rey Enrique VIII. Una vez que el hombre más poderoso de la corte inglesa, solo superado por el rey, el cardenal Wolsey perdió el favor de Enrique después de que no logró negociar la anulación de su matrimonio con Catalina de Aragón para poder casarse con su última obsesión, Ana Bolena. Después de la muerte de Wolsey en 1530, Enrique VIII se hizo cargo de Hampton Court, convirtiéndolo en un hotel, un teatro y un enorme parque infantil privado, usándolo para demostrar su enorme riqueza.
A su llegada al Palacio de Hampton Court, los huéspedes recibirán una cálida bienvenida y una presentación de un guía vestido con el traje típico.

It was a nice bus we rode on to Windsor.. but really I wish we had just taken the train. Then we could have stayed longer. ALSO -- the Henry VII's Hampton Court part of the day was cancelled. They did not/ have not yet refunded that portion of the cost. Had we gotten to go on to Henry's Court it might have been more worth taking this tour instead of the train.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. We understand your comments regarding the time spent in Windsor and your preference for a more flexible schedule. We have checked our records and can confirm that the Hampton Court Palace portion of the itinerary took place as scheduled. If you believe there has been any misunderstanding regarding this, please email us at customerservices@goldentours.com with your booking reference so we can look into this further for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments, which we will review as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the guest experience.
Experience did not disappoint. Seeng history up close and personal is amazing. If you enjoy history, make sure to see these two castles.
The tour changed itinerary and we went to Windsor later in the day which prevented us from having ample time to see the entire castle as the queue was already 1 hour to enter when we arrived. In addition the bus dropped us off at a different location upon returning to London.
We are sorry to hear that the revised itinerary impacted the amount of time you were able to spend at Windsor Castle. During peak travel periods, crowd levels and attraction queue times can occasionally affect the overall visitor experience, and we understand your disappointment at not having sufficient time to explore the castle fully. With regard to the return drop-off point in London, we would kindly like to clarify that, due to legal working hours restrictions for our drivers, this tour concludes within a short 2–3 minute walk of Gloucester Road Underground Station rather than Victoria. Gloucester Road Station is conveniently located in Zone 1 and offers excellent transport connections across central London: • Victoria Station is only three stops eastbound via the Circle or District Line • Piccadilly Circus is just five stops via the Piccadilly Line These arrangements are implemented to ensure compliance with UK driver safety and transport regulations while still providing guests with a convenient central London return location. We truly appreciate your feedback and thank you for travelling with us.
To walk the courtyards, rooms and halls of Hampton Court Palace where Henry the VIII, Anne Boleyn, Cardinal Wolsey and others walked was absolutely overwhelming…Mark was our Tour Guide and Claude was our Coach Driver…Mark gave us a wealth of information and pointed out little things that the group may have missed…but he also gave us an plenty of time to meander on our own…but the pièce de résistance was Windsor Castle!!! we were actually charmed to the fact that the royal standard was flying when we arrived…King Charles III was in residence!!! Of course, we didn’t actually expect to see him, but the fact that he was on the property was exciting! I was able to capture The Guard change just as we were getting ready to depart…just Thrilling!!!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle, and that Mark’s knowledge and guidance helped bring the history to life. It’s great to hear Claude ensured a smooth journey as well. How exciting that you experienced Windsor Castle with the Royal Standard flying and even caught the Guard Change—what a special moment! We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon.
This is a great way to see both sites on one day. Easy meet up place, nice transportation, a couple hours at each place. You are free on your own to go and see what you want, so not forced to follow along a predetermined tour. The Bus Driver (Elviro?) was polite and on time. The problem for me came in with the tour guide (Dolly). She gave back history and stories on the way to the sites, and then after we disembarked the bus and before we were set free to go explore. Unfortunately, she continued to pepper her commentary with personal opinions and bordering on racist remarks. For instance, there were some people in the way of the bus, walking down the middle through a parking lot, and she asked “is it the Chinese?“ On the way through London she was explaining how the area used to have Russian lettering all over the place because the Russians had bought everything up, but now everything is written half in Arabic. She stated that “the Arabs have bought everything up and come here and act like this is their home.“ she clearly does not like King Charles, and made numerous comments about some of his policies and things that he is changing. I don’t feel like these are appropriate comments and opinions to be regaling tour members with. I certainly didn’t want to hear it and was personally offended by some of the comments. I’m sure with a different tour guide I would’ve given this experience five stars.
First we booked our trip on 5/11 and it was rescheduled for 5/9. This messed up our 3 day London Pass for 5/8 through 5/10. We lost a day to use our pass and ended up having to pay for other entries that would have been included into the 3 day pass. Dolly our tour guide was slow and wasted a lot of time. She said we couldn’t bring in water to both places and you could have done that. Cost us extra to get water we already had. Some of the things she was telling us were also incorrect. She is a lovely person, but maybe should retire. Last thing was they didn’t drop us off at the same place as the pickup. We had to find our way back. Both pickup and drop off were located far from our hotel and they could have used a large van instead of a bus.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that several aspects of your experience did not meet expectations, particularly the schedule change and the inconvenience it caused with your London Pass. We understand how frustrating that must have been. We also appreciate your comments regarding the guiding, information provided, and the drop-off arrangements. While we’re glad you found the destinations themselves enjoyable, it’s clear that the overall experience fell short in important areas. Your feedback has been noted and will be reviewed carefully with our operations team to help improve communication, logistics, and guiding standards going forward. Thank you again for your honest review.
