Itinerario
La residenza preferita per il fine settimana del nostro attuale re Carlo III, il castello di Windsor è il castello occupato più antico e più grande del mondo. Anche uno dei castelli preferiti di Enrico VIII, il luogo è ora la sua tomba insieme alla regina Vittoria, alla regina madre e a molti altri reali. Passeggia negli splendidi Appartamenti di Stato e dai un'occhiata alla Cappella di San Giorgio, dove Harry e Meghan si sono sposati. La Queen Mary's Dolls 'House è assolutamente da vedere, con acqua corrente calda e fredda, elettricità e piccoli oggetti realizzati da 1.500 dei migliori artigiani del 20° secolo.
Entra nella Cappella di San Giorgio, situata nel vasto parco, dove sono sepolti il famoso re Enrico VIII e la sua moglie preferita, Jane Seymour, così come la regina Maria e la regina Elisabetta, la regina madre. La cappella di San Giorgio è uno dei migliori esempi di architettura gotica in Inghilterra. È stato lo scenario di molti matrimoni reali ed è il luogo di sepoltura di dieci sovrani. La Cappella è dedicata al santo patrono dell'Ordine della Giarrettiera. Il più alto ordine cavalleresco della Gran Bretagna. * St. La cappella di George è chiusa ai visitatori la domenica poiché i servizi si svolgono durante il giorno. I fedeli sono invitati a partecipare ai servizi. Questi si verificano nei seguenti orari: 08:30 - Santa Comunione 10:45 - Mattins e Sermon 11:45 - Eucaristia cantata 17:15 - Evensong
Questo storico edificio del 17 ° secolo è situato nella High Street, a soli 100 metri dalla collina del castello. Il principe Carlo sposò Camilla Parket Bowles, duchessa di Cornovaglia a Windsor Guildhall nel 2005.
Sarai accolto nel magnifico Palazzo di Hampton Court da uno degli esperti Palace Host che ti introdurrà alla residenza lungo il fiume di Enrico VIII e ti avvierà alla scoperta degli spettacolari appartamenti di stato, delle cucine Tudor e dei magnifici giardini. Un palazzo reale nel distretto di Richmond upon Thames, l'Hampton Court Palace fu costruito nel 1515 dal cardinale Thomas Wolsey, consigliere preferito del re Enrico VIII. Un tempo l'uomo più potente della corte inglese, secondo solo al re, il cardinale Wolsey cadde in disgrazia con Enrico dopo che non riuscì a negoziare l'annullamento del suo matrimonio con Caterina d'Aragona in modo da poter sposare la sua ultima ossessione, Anna Bolena. Dopo la morte di Wolsey nel 1530, Enrico VIII si occupò di Hampton Court, trasformandolo in un hotel, un teatro e un enorme parco giochi privato, utilizzandolo per dimostrare la sua enorme ricchezza.
All'arrivo all'Hampton Court Palace, gli ospiti riceveranno un caloroso benvenuto e saranno presentati da una guida in costume d'epoca.

We loved our tour to Windsor castle and Hampton court palace! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we got to see a little bit of London on the way. We felt like there was more than enough time at both locations, and we were able to see exactly what we wanted to. We would definitely book this tour again!
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.
