I recently had the absolute privilege of embarking on a private tour of Windsor Castle guided by the exceptionally knowledgeable and professional guide Victoria. As an unashamed Anglophile, my expectations were towering, but I can wholeheartedly say that they were not only met, but significantly surpassed. From the outset, Victoria demonstrated an extraordinary depth of knowledge and a genuine passion for British history that lent the tour an air of authenticity and intimacy. Her detailed understanding of the castle's history, combined with intriguing anecdotes and lesser-known facts, provided a vivid narrative that allowed the ancient stones of Windsor Castle to truly come alive. Every room and courtyard had a story to tell, and Victoria ensured that each tale was presented in a captivating and engaging manner. The grandeur of the State Apartments, the solemn beauty of St. George's Chapel, the sheer magnificence of the Round Tower; Victoria artfully brought the majesty of each to life. Even as an avid scholar of British history, I was struck by the richness of the stories that Victoria shared, many of which were new to me. Victoria's approach to guiding was a perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. She was remarkably approachable, open to all questions, and attentive to my interests, adeptly tailoring the tour to my curiosity and love for British culture. Victoria's ability to explain complex historical narratives with clarity was nothing short of impressive. Her tour was more than a walk through a landmark; it was a plunge into centuries of British history and royal life. But what was perhaps most commendable was her passion. It was clear Victoria loves what she does. Her enthusiasm was infectious and helped me develop an even deeper appreciation for Windsor Castle and British history. In terms of logistics, everything was seamless. Victoria punctually met me at the agreed location, and the tour was conducted in a relaxed yet professional manner. The pace was perfectly balanced to allow enough time to admire, learn, and absorb the grandeur of Windsor Castle. If one is seeking a comprehensive, enlightening, and personalized tour of Windsor Castle, I can't recommend Victoria highly enough. Her undeniable expertise, professionalism, and passion combined to deliver an unforgettable journey through time in one of Britain's most significant historical landmarks. This tour was a delight for this Anglophile's heart, and I left Windsor Castle richer in knowledge and deeper in love with British history. Thank you, Victoria, for exceeding all my expectations and making this experience a highlight of my travels. I look forward to exploring more of Britain under your expert guidance in the future. In terms of what to improve— I wish I had an office address for Victoria to send her a note expressing my gratitude.

Barbara was fabulous! I can’t believe how lucky we were to have her as a guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about Windsor Palace and gave us so many more details than a normal tour gives. We've done the tour on our own but wanted a better experience for our friends’ first time in London and she delivered! Her personal experiences and wealth of knowledge of history, politics and social protocol was unexpected and invaluable. Thank you so much - we will absolutely book with Context in the future.

Elena was extremely knowledgeable and fun to share time with.
