Witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Windsor Castle (depending on the day), stroll down the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park, and travel across the River Thames via Windsor Bridge to see famous Eton College in the nearby town of Eton. Enjoy informative commentary and great panoramic city views aboard the open-top, double-decker bus, and hop on and off at your leisure to explore at your own pace.

From any of the 10 stops around the city, hop aboard the open-top, double-decker City Sightseeing bus and sit back as you explore the twin towns of Windsor and Eton, separated by the River Thames and joined by Windsor Bridge. On board, learn about the sights and the history of Windsor through recorded audio commentary. See the whole city on the entire loop, which takes about 45 minutes, or hop off at conveniently located stops around the city to explore at your own pace. Visit famous Windsor Castle, the Queen's royal residence. Built in the 11th century, this is largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world. Depending on the day, you may be able to witness the Changing of the Guard parade outside the castle. Be sure to check the schedule ahead of time to see this stately ceremony steeped in centuries of history – it's a quintessential English experience! Hop off to explore Windsor Great Park, a massive deer park which served for many centuries as the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle. Now open to the public, Windsor Great Park features various recreational areas, sweeping green laws, hills, ponds and small woods dominated by ancient oak trees. Be sure to stroll down the Long Walk, an avenue of trees that runs between the park and Windsor Castle. Crossing Windsor Bridge, spend some time in Eton. This riverside town is most famous for being the site of Eton College, a notable public institution known for educating many future politicians, judges and diplomats. Your City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off Windsor pass is valid for 24 hours from the time of first use, so you have plenty of time to see all the sights at your leisure.

Everything was perfect, except the location of the bus stop at Castle Hill as the place is too crowded which makes it hard to understand where the bus actually stops but in the end was able to figure it out : it was worth it, would of been nice though if there was a trip which includes access to Windsor Castle instead of waiting in the queue for an hour's time

It was good but would have been better if it was not raining. Enjoyed it despite the rain.
