You step into a modern London black cab and the city peels away — the hum of Piccadilly gives way to hedgerows and the Thames widening into calmer water. The driver-guide eases you through traffic and, thirty miles later, Windsor’s low-slung rooftops and the castle’s stone silhouette fill the windscreen.

You step into a modern London black cab and the city peels away — the hum of Piccadilly gives way to hedgerows and the Thames widening into calmer water. The driver-guide eases you through traffic and, thirty miles later, Windsor’s low-slung rooftops and the castle’s stone silhouette fill the windscreen.
Windsor has been a royal foothold since the 11th century: William the Conqueror’s fortress grew into a working palace with St. George’s Chapel and State Apartments. The town sits on Thames floodplain geology — clay and gravels shaped by the river — which makes the long, tree-lined Long Walk through Windsor Great Park feel planted and deliberate, as if the landscape itself is guiding your steps. Across the river, Eton’s historic college streets speak to centuries of English education and tradition; Thames Street’s pubs and the Crooked House add local color and quirks.
Expect a mix of narrated driving, short guided walks, and photo stops. The tour generally covers exterior views of Windsor Castle (tickets not included), Thames Street and the Crooked House, a drive-by of Eton College and time in Windsor Great Park.
Practicalities: castle entry costs and queuing are separate — buy tickets in advance if you plan to enter. Hotel pickup in central London simplifies logistics; mobility-friendly vehicles are available if requested during booking. Bring comfortable walking shoes, a waterproof layer, and a small daypack. Aim to travel earlier in the day to avoid afternoon coach crowds and allow better light for photos. The cab offers a compact, flexible way to experience royal history and riverside charm without the bustle of large tours.
