Experience Windsor with us

Explore a royal retreat during a fabulous Windsor tour. Situated by the River Thames, the historic town of Windsor is frequently visited by the Queen herself when she needs a break!  Filled with beautiful parks, quaint English houses, and cobblestone streets, you can get away from it all with a Windsor tour. If you find yourself in London, a Windsor day trip might just be the very thing you need for a little peace. Visit Windsor Castle, which has been occupied by the royal family since the 11th century. And, stop by Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, which is a miniature palace complete with elevators and plumbing. For a little architectural history, stop by St. George’s Chapel or the Frogmore House & Gardens. Or, if you’re looking for a little excitement, there’s always the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort. It’s what to do in Windsor if you’re bringing the kids along!

Best time to visit
Spring and Summer are the best time to make the most of Windsor. The weather is often pleasant and you can enjoy walks along the River Thames. Just take an umbrella with you, well, just in case. English weather can be unpredictable.
Getting around
Windsor isn't a large town to explore. Infact to really enjoy it walking is best. You can also take the hop-on hop-off bus tour and there are train connections to central London.
Stay Safe

As one of the largest cities in Germany, Frankfurt suffers from many of the same societal ills common to most metropolises.  So, here are some tips to stay safe:

 

  • Crowded shopping and tourist areas become a hunting ground for petty thieves and unwelcome scam artists.Pay close attention to your bags and pockets if you find yourself pushing through crowds at a festival or flea market.
  • If you believe you’re being marked for a theft or scam, quickly step inside the nearest shop and ask the clerk for help.Shops also present a safer place to stop, turn around, and look your would-be perpetrator in the eye, which will usually make them find another target.
  • Should you find yourself walking alone at night, make sure you are alert, appear confident, and are not looking at your phone or listening to music with headphones.
