What to expect on a Windsor Castle guided tour
First up on the tour is the State Apartments. This is where the royal family throws events for visiting Heads of State from around the world. Think plush décor, grand staircases, and enough paintings to make your head spin.
Next stop, St George's Chapel. This historic beauty has seen its fair share of royal weddings (think Prince Harry and Meghan!) and burials of kings and queens. Keep an eye out for Queen Elizabeth II's tomb, which was recently added.
Get ready to be green with envy in the Semi-State Rooms. The Green Drawing Room, commissioned by King George IV, is a real showstopper. If you’re feeling adventurous, climb the 220 steps to the top of the Round Tower. The panoramic views of the castle and surrounding area are worth the sweat. No Windsor Castle tour is complete without checking out Queen Mary's Dolls' House, a mind-blowing miniature mansion where everything works, including electricity! Then head to the Waterloo Chamber, a grand hall celebrating the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Finally, the China Museum awaits, showcasing a collection of royal china fit for an emperor.
