Highlights
  • Eton College - Our driver will give you a panoramic tour of Eton College
    Eton College, near Windsor, Berkshire, one of England’s largest independent secondary schools and one of the highest in prestige. It was founded by Henry VI in 1440-41 for 70 highly qualified boys who received scholarships from a fund endowed by the king.
    Prime Minister past and present including Boris Johnson is an Etonian and so is Prince William, George Orwell, Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston and Bear Grylls.

  • Old Windsor - Old Windsor. Home of Saxon Kings
    There was an Anglo-Saxon royal palace in Old Windsor, the predecessor of Windsor Castle. It is mentioned in several charters of King Edward the Confessor’s reign. In 1061, the new Abbot of St Augustine’s Abbey in Canterbury was appointed there and consecrated in the parish church. Legends also tell of several other events. The saintly King is said to have cured the blind there.

  • Runnymede National Trust - Runnymede is famous as the site of the sealing of Magna Carta, but today it’s home to a collection of memorials to the struggle for liberty. As well as the monument to Magna Carta, you can visit memorials to JFK and the Allied Air Forces of the Second World War.
    A commemorative statue of the Queen has been unveiled beside the River Thames in Surrey as part of events marking the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.

The 4m (13ft) bronze sculpture at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds shows the Queen in full Garter Robes.

  • Windsor Castle - A must see on your bucket list when visiting UK,
    Windsor Castle is almost as famous as its inhabitants, Queen Elizabeth II. This stunning estate is the world’s longest-occupied palace in the world, housing 39 British monarchs over nearly 1,000 years, a social centre for political figures and nobility.
    by the time Queen Victoria took up residence at Windsor, major renovations of the castle’s exterior with the grand vision of George IV and additions to the interiors, like a dedicated Music Room, made the palace even more renowned and exquisite.
    It was during the reign of Queen Victoria that the castle’s now-iconic St. George’s Chapel became the choice for royal family burials over Westminster Abbey—and the castle itself became a central facet of the British monarchy, as the Queen spent most of the year at Windsor.
    The Queen spends most of her private weekends at Windsor.

Windsor Castle & St. George’s Chapel - We were very impressed with our knowledgeable driver, Sukh Tel. He was on time, friendly. Our drive out to Windsor was pleasant and informative. The car was very clean. Sukh kept in good communications with us. He went above and beyond by taking us to the Long Walk. It was on my list to see and he fulfilled it as well as taking pictures of my husband and myself. I would highly recommend this experience.
