Another castle you say? But, this is the one you want to put on your bucket list along with Hampton Court Palace. Spectacular and full of interesting things to look at that are well presented. Take your time and don't rush, then take time to explore the town of Windsor. A really fascinating place. I am mobility impaired and they... More

Very interesting, lots to see, children loved it, see the changing of the guard, very impressive. Moat House does childrens crafts in the holidays. stamp your tickets for it to be valid for the whole year, then it works out good value

We went there as a family and each of us enjoyed the experience: it is great to see the care which has been taken with the exhibits and the visitors can see exhibits from quite close to, not the case in every museum

Very impressive. Quite busy with large groups, audio guide was great until it ran out of battery; I didn't need to ask for a replacement as I was nearing the end of my visit. Needless to say the grounds are in pristine condition, various facilities. A must visit.

This is a lovely, friendly castle with loads to see and do. Full of history and pageantry. The Changing of the Guards is spectacular. The band played "Dancing Queen", "Mama Mia" and "Waterloo"!! Ask for a senior discount if you are eligible and get your ticket stamped for further visits for free

We spent a goof four hours viewing all areas of the Castle. The royal apartments are well worth a visit and the number of paintings by the masters are breathtaking. Make sure you find somwhere to park though before you get to the Castle becasue you can end up going round and round on yourself if you dont know the... More

In London for business I had a free day and went with a colleague to Windsor Castle for the afternoon. Very impressive place and well worth price of admission. The audio tour made the difference. I wish they would have allowed photos inside the apartments and chapel, but I'd recommend this a great day trip. Public transport was a breeze... More

This is my favourite tourist attraction in the UK. We only live locally but it's just such a lovely thing to do on a quiet day. When it's busy it can be a bit of a nightmare however. You really get a feel for the 'house where the Queen lives' as it were. It's a real 'living, breathing' castle and... More
