This experience offers a unique spin on cultural day travel, as visitors journey to Windsor in a classic London black cab, combing comfort and historical insight. The tour stands out because of its private, personalized nature, led by driver-guides steeped in local knowledge who bring the long history of Windsor Castle and its surrounding town vividly to life.
