Private Windsor Castle Tour from London — Marlow Included, Car Waits

Tripyana’s private Windsor Castle tour with Marlow is a chauffeur-driven Mercedes: your driver collects you at your London hotel between 8am and noon, waits at the castle and in the river towns, and brings you back the same afternoon, about eight hours. The fare is £420 for the car, up to three passengers, not per person. Castle tickets you book yourself; we plan the pickup around your entry time.

Your day

How the day runs

  1. Departure from your hotel

    Your driver arrives at your London hotel entrance at the time you chose, between 8:00am and 12:00 noon. The drive from Mayfair to Windsor Castle takes 50 to 54 minutes at those hours on a weekday, by our own hour-by-hour data.

  2. Windsor Castle

    The State Apartments with their royal collections, St George’s Chapel — resting place of kings and queens — and the famous Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House. Most visitors take two and a half to three hours.

  3. Windsor town and Eton Bridge

    A walk through the cobbled lanes below the castle, then across the Thames on Eton Bridge for the view back to the walls — with cafés and riverside restaurants for lunch.

  4. The Long Walk optional

    The dead-straight tree-lined avenue running from the castle gates through Windsor Great Park — ten minutes on it are enough for the photograph everyone comes for.

  5. Marlow

    Twenty-five minutes on from Windsor: a Georgian town right on the Thames — the white suspension bridge beside All Saints’ church, the weir at Higginson Park, and a high street of independent shops and cafés.

  6. Henley-on-Thames

    The prettiest half hour of river country brings you to Henley — the five-arched bridge, the tower of St Mary’s church above the rooftops, and the riverside walk along the world-famous Royal Regatta course (in Regatta week, 29 June to 4 July 2027, book the Henley Royal Regatta chauffeur day instead).

  7. Back to your hotel

    Your driver returns you from Henley to the same address you started from — about an hour and a quarter back to central London.

What you get

Included and not included

Included in the price

  • Private car with driver for the day
  • Pickup and drop-off at your London address
  • Driver waiting at every stop, all day
  • Fuel and road tolls
  • Parking at every stop
  • Child seats on request

Not included

  • Castle entry tickets — booked on the official website
  • Food and drink during the day
  • A licensed tour guide (available separately)

Know before you go

  • The castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for most of the year. Check the official Windsor Castle website before you choose your date — closures also happen at short notice for royal events; on a closure day, pair Kew with Hampton Court Palace instead on the Hampton Court and Kew half-day.
  • Last admission is around 4:00pm. The castle comes first in the day for exactly that reason — an early departure gives it an unhurried morning before the river towns.
  • Book castle tickets ahead. Timed tickets on the official website are cheaper than the gate and skip the queue at busy times — the same goes for the Stone Circle Experience at Stonehenge, which sells out months ahead.
  • St George’s Chapel closes to visitors on Sundays. Services take place instead; if the chapel matters to you, pick another day of the week.
  • Windsor to London is slowest at 8:00am and between 1:00pm and 6:00pm. Our data puts the drive from the castle to Mayfair at 57 to 65 minutes in the afternoon and under 55 after 7:00pm; from Heathrow the castle is 17 to 23 minutes at any hour. Full tables: Windsor journey times by hour.

FAQ

Questions about this trip

Does the driver wait during the castle visit?
Yes. Your driver waits in Windsor for the whole visit. When you are ready — after the castle, the town or the Long Walk — the car is there. Waiting time is included in the fare.
Do you book the castle tickets?
No. We provide the car and driver only; tickets are booked by you on the official website. Book them before the car so your date is one the castle is open.
Is the price per person or per car?
Per car, return — never per person. Choose the class that fits your group: the E-Class and S-Class seat up to three, the V-Class up to seven, and the fare stays the same however many of you travel. The exact figure for each class is in the vehicle cards above, and it includes fuel, road tolls and parking at the destination.
How long is the drive from London?
Around an hour from central London to Windsor, twenty-five minutes on to Marlow and about the same again to Henley-on-Thames — short hops all day. Windsor is about 25 miles (40 km) west of London along the M4, so most of the day is spent at the sights rather than on the road.
Is Windsor suitable for children?
Very — the Dolls’ House, the Changing of the Guard and the riverside make it the easiest royal day out with a family, and child seats are fitted on request.
Can you collect me from outside London?
The prices shown are calculated for a pickup inside London. If you are staying outside the city, contact us before booking and we will confirm the right price for you.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes — free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup, with a full refund of any card payment. Cancellations inside 24 hours are charged in full, and a change requested less than 12 hours before departure may be treated as a cancellation. To cancel, reply to your confirmation email; the full policy is in our terms and conditions.
How do I pay?
You can pay the driver in cash on the day, or by card through the booking form on this page. Card payments are processed securely when you book and you receive a written confirmation by email; if you prefer cash, choose that option in the form and settle with the driver in pounds sterling on the day.
Can you see Windsor Castle and Marlow in one day from London?
Yes, comfortably. Windsor is under an hour from central London, so a morning pickup puts you at the castle for the guard change and the State Apartments, leaves time for lunch in the town, and still fits Marlow and Henley-on-Thames in the afternoon. Your driver waits at each stop, so nothing is timed to a coach.
How much is the trip in US dollars?
About $565 for the Mercedes E-Class and $650 for the V-Class at the current rate — estimates only. Fares are set and charged in pounds sterling, so your card issuer’s exchange rate on the day decides the exact dollar amount. The price covers the car, not each passenger, and there is nothing extra to pay for a second or third traveller.
Is a Windsor Castle tour worth it?
Yes. It is the oldest occupied castle in the world and the one royal day out that fits comfortably in half a day from London. The State Apartments, St George’s Chapel and the Long Walk are the highlights, and the Changing the Guard takes place inside the castle on several days a week. With Marlow and Henley added, the day feels complete rather than rushed.
Can visitors see Queen Elizabeth II’s grave at Windsor Castle?
Yes. The Queen rests in the King George VI Memorial Chapel inside St George’s Chapel, beside Prince Philip and her parents, and the ledger stone can be seen by visitors as part of the castle ticket. St George’s Chapel is closed to visitors on Sundays, so choose another day if this matters to you. Your driver waits for as long as the visit takes.
