Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Windsor, Windsor, Windsor and Maidenhead, Berkshire, England
Your private London & Windsor day trip begins with collection from your London or Heathrow address. With your private chauffeur, you’ll make the short drive from bustling London to the green fields of the Royal County of Berkshire, into the tranquil pastures of Runnymede; an important Saxon meeting place and historic settlement. This wooded valley bore witness to the conclusion of the Barons’ Revolt that gave us Magna Carta, our major constitution sealed by King John in 1215.
Following the Thames upstream we arrive at Windsor Castle, fortress to some, Royal home to others, this impressive structure is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. See the lavishly furnished rooms of the Royal apartments, visit St George’s Chapel and relive the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. See the tombs of Kings and Queens and the heraldry of the Order of the Knights of the Garter. Head down to the Lower Ward to witness the Changing of the Guard (selected days only).
Duration: 4 hours

Your driver will take you through the local area, where the younger Royals partied the night away such as the famous Mahiki nightclub and the many exclusive restaurants and bars in Chelsea.
Let’s not forget that wherever we drive in London we will be constantly passing the homes of great writers and poets, politicians, adventurers, inventors, actors and artisans, famous or infamous, most of them gone but certainly not forgotten. Locations brought to life in film or literature, bustling markets, quiet backstreets, wartime destruction, peacetime rebuilding, private palaces, public gardens, a colourful history, a bloody past, lost buildings, lost rivers, stunning architecture and breathtaking views……..undoubtedly something for everyone!
