Frequently asked questions
What happens if Windsor Castle is closed on the day of my tour?
Windsor Castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On those days, your guide will lead a walking tour of Windsor town instead. If you have an admission-included ticket, please check with the operator regarding any refund or credit for the castle entry.
Can I visit St. George's Chapel on a Sunday?
St. George's Chapel is closed to general visitors on Sundays, though worshippers are welcome to attend services. The tour will still include Windsor, but the chapel interior will not be accessible on that day.
What is the difference between the 'admission included' and 'admission not included' tickets?
The admission-included tickets cover your entry fees to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford attractions. The 'admission not included' option is cheaper upfront but means you pay for site entry separately on the day — useful if you hold membership cards such as English Heritage.
Is the tour available in languages other than English?
Yes. The tour runs in both English and Mandarin. Select your preferred language when choosing your ticket option.
Are children able to join the tour, and is there a child price?
Children under 3 travel free of charge, though no seat will be reserved for them. Check the ticket options for pricing on older children.
Is the tour accessible for people with mobility difficulties?
Due to ongoing lift maintenance, the walk from Windsor Coach Park to the castle requires using some stairs. The tour may not be fully suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations — contact the operator before booking if you have specific requirements.
