Windsor Castle & Brighton

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world

Windsor Castle, located in Windsor, Berkshire, is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the United Kingdom, boasting a rich history, stunning architecture, and an extensive collection of art and artifacts.

As one of the oldest and largest inhabited castles in the world, it covers an area of approximately 13 hectares. With nearly 1,000 years of history, Windsor Castle is one of England's most impressive and significant historical sites, having been built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror . Its numerous renovations and expansions throughout the years reflect the changing times and tastes of the monarchs who lived there.
It has served as the official residence of monarchs such as VIII. Henry, Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, and II. Queen Elizabeth.
The castle houses a vast collection of art and historical artifacts, including paintings, sculptures, armor, and furniture, many of which are displayed in the State Apartments, which are open to the public.

 
In addition, St. George's Chapel, located on the castle grounds, is one of the most beautiful and significant church buildings in England. The chapel serves as the final resting place for ten rulers, including VIII. Henry and his third wife, Jane Seymour, and In September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh were also laid to rest here.. St. George's Chapel holds great importance for the royal family, as it was the site of Prince Harry's baptism, the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla, and the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Visitors can also witness the changing of the guard, a tradition that dates back to the 17th century and still takes place regularly in the castle and in front of the castle. This ceremonial event is a true spectacle, with soldiers dressed in full regalia marching to the beat of a drum.

With a rich history, a thriving arts scene, and plenty of attractions to keep you busy, it's no wonder that Brighton is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK.

The iconic Brighton Pier, which stretches out into the sea, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Brighton Tower, also known as the Brighton i360, is a unique and iconic landmark located on the seafront in the vibrant city of Brighton, England. This impressive structure stands at 138 meters tall, making it the tallest observation tower in the UK outside of London.

"Highly recommended,
professional and friendly"

My teenage daughter and I had a 9-hour layover at Heathrow and wanted to visit Stonehenge.
We hired Andrew Tapaszto (at +447411 412088) and had a terrific day. He picked us up at the airport, managed our luggage for the day. Andrew was pleasant, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. He managed our time effectively between Stonehenge and a quick stop in Windsor. I'd highly recommend him.

"Just what we needed"

Andrew was prompt, friendly and so very helpful. He gave us exactly the itinerary we requested- which was to be picked up at Heathrow after our overnight flight from the US, taken to Windsor, and then delivered to our hotel in London. Highly recommend

"On time, courteous and accomodating"

I'm still in London while writing this review. We went to Stonehenge and Salisbury on Tuesday and Hampton Court and Windsor Castle today. Andrew was on time, very courteous and accommodating. Price is very fair for a private day tour.

"Wonderful Time with Andrew"

We booked Andrew for two days. We were a party of four adults. First day was trip to Stratford-upon-Avon with return to Windsor. He delighted us with stories of history, local fun and his life as we made our way there. He helped us find the starting part of our time in Stratford-upon-Avon then picked us up at our last stop when we were ready to head back. The next day we went to Stonehenge then on to Bath to our next hotel. He prepared us by making sure we had pre-booked tickets before our trip and explained what we would find there. As well he showed us interesting spots along the way including one stop for beautiful photos as we entered Bath. You’ll be lucky to have Andrew as a part of your visit!

"London to Windsor to Heathrow"

Andrew is fantastic!
Trust him!!!
We had to be out of our apartment for 9 am in central London but did not have a flight until 4 pm. Andrew was the perfect solution to our situation.
I found him on line via the forum... and I am so glad that I did.
Not only did he make our day easy but he also was delightful. We were picked up on time and brought to Windsor. Our luggage stayed with Andrew security in the car while we enjoyed the are.
Five star rating.
Thank you Andrew.
