Interesting historical tour around Windsor. Entertaining tour guide who made what could be a dry historical tour much more interesting. A good tour for those who don’t walk far as Windsor a compact town. A guide very interested and proud of his own town.

What a wonderful way to see and learn about the town of Windsor, and how it has evolved and changed over the centuries by the reigning monarchs. The history of some special and historic buildings. “Sam” was excellent! Very well informed and a great guy to show us around. Highly recommended experience!

Our tour guide was a university student named Sam - he was great and very knowledgeable! Our family ended up being the only group on the tour, so we got to go at our own pace and ask tons of questions!

Windsor walk was Great

Jeanette_S, May 2026
I had a private tour with David and he was very friendly and informative. He was generous in taking photos and I received a full history of the Windsor castle.

Fantastic tour, we were hooked from start to finish!

Louise_N, May 2026
One of the best walking tours I've ever done! Sam was such a wonderful guide - the tour was jam-packed with interesting facts and brilliant stories, we absolutely loved it! Sam was also super friendly and chatted to all of us in the group as we walked between stops, so by the end we felt like friends! It was the best thing we did on our trip to Windsor and I highly recommend this tour to bring the history of the town to life.

The guide was nice and friendly. He gave lots of information about the history of the town as well of Castle. If you don’t like listen about historical Kings and Dates/Years, this tour is not for you.

Less walking and more standing

Melanie_W, Mar 2026
Quite a bit of just standing in one place. A lot of historical information given but because we were 40mins at the Guildhall we missed out on other stops on the itinerary .

Windsor in the sun !

Yvonne_F, Mar 2026
Great tour , guide Sam very knowledgeable and good fun . Covered all the important bits and more . Thanks

An excellent tour given by a local with in depth knowledge. Got to hear the highlights as well as local nitty gritty tid bits. Truly was a blast.

Donna_T, Feb 2026
I was with two other travellers, a couple. Guide put most attention on the couple, especially the lady, even how she was facing and speaking. It was like they were having a two way closed off conversation a lot. When I asked questions, responses were vague or guide seemed to go in a different tangent. The guide could be more engaging, inclusive and knowledgeable in a way that is customer centric, tailored the the customer’s needs. The guide spoke a lot about her personal life, her friends and her personal history growing up in Windsor. I would have like to know more about the history of Windsor, in a layered way. Her energy was somewhat scattered, she said she had three jobs, maybe that explains it. I didn’t really connect / tour for me didn’t seem that worthwhile - the way it was presented. Tour likely to be more enjoyable if more suitable guide, more memorable interesting spots and knowledge, different people in the group. I would have just spent the money I did on the tour on a Windsor Castle entry fee and spent my day there. I was disappointed, but it is what it is. You have to go through the experience to find out sometimes. A shame as the tour seems popular on aviator, which influenced me to book.

Walk Windsor with Sam!

Wonderful Windsor Walk

Lawrence_T, Aug 2025
Fantastic walking tour with history covering 900 years across 90 minutes. The town's history in relation to the royals, as well as other areas of intrigue were well navigated by our guide, Sam. You don't have to be a royalist to enjoy the tour, and Sam did a great job covering potentially sensitive topics without controversy. I particularly enjoyed the history of the Black Horse Inn, and will be personally be checking to see if it is truly still a 'pub' this afternoon. Good luck in your third year at uni, Sam!

Lovely walk in Windsor

Good overview of the town, some of its history and quirky things (like the blue post box) and recommendations. Timing of walk coincided with changing of the guards at the castle which was great.

A Win for Windsor!
