It was exciting to learn about the history of the English royal family. However, it was almost exclusively photographs, which is not how it was presented online. We therefore expected something different.

Ticketing went well and was done well in advance of our visit. The castle and other buildings are wonderful. Loved seeing St. Georges, and the Windsor Castle itself. The Doll House was fascinating and a beautiful piece of art work demonstrating extraordinary craftmanship of the era. Such a nice place. Also love that it is right in town and other shops to explore.

the visit to the castle was awesome. magnificent interior spaces breathe history and endless stories. I was sorry that I was not allowed to take pictures in all the interiors. I will never see beautiful coats of arms or porcelain sets anywhere else. I was very pleased with the friendly approach of all employees and their willingness to show and explain anything. it was an awesome trip.

It was wonderful: the château is splendid. The audio guides are very informative and suitable for everyone. We had booked for 12.30pm, but arrived early and were even able to get in 1.5 hours early, which meant we could take our time and also enjoy the Long Walk and Eton in the afternoon.

The ticketing was easy and we even gained entry ahead of our allotted time. My husband uses a mobility scooter and the staff were wonderful. From the first entry point and all around the castle all the volunteers were so helpful. They couldn't do enough to make getting around the whole venue as simple as possible. With great thanks to them we were both able to see every room and area of the castle. It was a fantastic visit and one I would recommend to anyone who enjoys general history, and royal history in particular.

A wonderful experience to see where the royal family live. I enjoyed St Georges chapel as It was so relaxing and the acoustics were brilliant when the choir were singing and playing. Struggling with back problems the security staff there were very helpful taking me another way in to see the dolls house which was well worth seeing.

Pre book tickets is a must. It can get very busy, and the queues and security take a while to get through. It is to be expected though, so not a major issue. One inside Windsor Castle is amazing, and worth every penny of the entrance fee. Allow a few hours for your visit as there is plenty to see.

The Story of Her Accession
Being the longest-reigning British monarch, HM Queen Elizabeth is beloved and respected not just in the UK but around the globe. On her 21st birthday, she declared that she would dedicate her whole life, whether long or short, to the service of the people, and she has strived to live up to these words ever since.
When King George VI’s health started to decline, Elizabeth frequently took his place in public events. She also took his place in the proposed Commonwealth tour of Australia and New Zealand through Kenya in early 1952. Unfortunately, during this tour, Elizabeth heard the news of her father’s death, and she was now a young 25-year-old girl who had suddenly become the Queen. Elizabeth then returned to the UK to assume her duties as the new Queen. She chose to retain her name Elizabeth as her regnal name, which allowed her to become Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
