Itinerary
Day 1
A relaxed, accessible day visiting Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace. Chauffeur provides transfers and panoramic commentary from the vehicle; entry passes included. Blue Badge guides (inside the sites) are available on request for an additional cost — chauffeurs cannot act as official indoor guides.
Meet & Pickup — Central London (Hotel lobby pickup)
Your private chauffeur will meet you in your hotel lobby (or a convenient central London meeting point) for a calm, assisted boarding into the executive vehicle. Driver will confirm accessibility needs and any preferred stops for comfort breaks.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the chauffeur to lower the vehicle step and to place any mobility aids in the door-side seat for easy transfer.
- Keep medications and important documents in a small day bag; the driver can store larger luggage in the boot.
- If your hotel lobby is busy, agree a clear meet point (e.g., main reception desk) and ask staff to assist if needed.
Transfer: Private executive drive to Windsor (with panoramic commentary)
Comfortable executive vehicle transfer from central London to Windsor with light commentary on route highlights. Wi‑Fi on board and frequent seat breaks on request. Vehicle is licensed and guest comfort is prioritised.
Tips from local experts:
- Request the driver to maintain a mild cabin temperature and to stop for comfort breaks if anyone prefers shorter sitting intervals.
- If you use a wheelchair, confirm in advance whether you will board the vehicle seated or if a collapsible wheelchair should be stowed — the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.
- Bring a soft cushion for extra seat comfort during the 1–1.5 hour drive; the chauffeur can assist with positioning it.
Visit — Windsor Castle (State Apartments & St George's Chapel)
Self‑guided visit inside Windsor Castle using the included entry pass. The castle has step-free entrance routes for much of the State Apartments; St George’s Chapel involves some steps but accessible alternatives and assistance are available from staff. Chauffeur will wait nearby and return at the agreed time.
Tips from local experts:
- Enter via the designated accessible entrance — show your entry pass and ask staff for the shortest, step‑free route to the State Apartments.
- Wheelchair users: contact Windsor Castle staff on arrival to request volunteer assistance for door thresholds; many indoor areas have benches for frequent rests.
- Peak crowd times are mid‑morning; if you prefer fewer people, request the chauffeur to drop you slightly before the official start time and begin inside more quietly.
Lunch — Côte Brasserie Windsor (calm, accessible seating)
A gentle lunch at Côte Brasserie in Windsor town — step‑free access, familiar menu and calm seating suitable for seniors. Quick service to keep the day relaxed while offering warm, hearty options.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a table near the entrance or by the aisle for easier access and to avoid stairs.
- Request a lower table height or a high‑back chair if back support is helpful; staff are used to accommodating mobility needs.
- Choose dishes that are easy to eat if you tire easily (e.g., fish with soft vegetables or salads); staff can adjust portions on request.
Panoramic drive & photo stop — Eton and The Long Walk (short, low‑walk stop)
Short driven loop through Eton and a photo stop at The Long Walk viewpoint in Windsor Great Park for iconic palace vistas. Minimal walking required; passenger can remain in the vehicle if preferred.
Tips from local experts:
- The Long Walk has an even surface near the viewpoint; bring a portable folding stool if you prefer to avoid standing long.
- Driver can pause at a curbside spot for photos to avoid navigating crowds — ask for a drop close to the viewpoint.
- Spring is blossom season: carry sunglasses and a light layer against breezes in the park.
Visit — Magna Carta Memorial, Runnymede (short, level stop)
A brief visit to the Magna Carta Memorial at Runnymede. The site is outdoors with level access paths in most areas; a short, reflective stop ideal for fresh air and brief walking.
Tips from local experts:
- Paths around the memorial are mostly level but can be uneven after rain; wear sensible rubber‑soled shoes and ask the driver to pause at the closest parking spot.
- There are benches and grassy spots to rest; limit walking to the immediate memorial area to conserve energy.
- Spring brings fresh greenery and fewer crowds; bring a light waterproof layer in case of showers.
Transfer to Hampton Court Palace (relaxed drive with optional stop if needed)
Executive vehicle transfer from Runnymede area to Hampton Court Palace. Driver can include a short comfort stop en route on request; arrival includes drop at the palace main entrance where the chauffeur will reconfirm pickup time.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the chauffeur to confirm the pickup location at Hampton Court (some entrances have steps) and request the most accessible drop‑off point.
- If anyone needs to rest before continuing, request a brief stop at a service area — the chauffeur will choose a calm, accessible spot.
- Use the time in the vehicle to rehydrate and put on a light layer; spring temperatures can change quickly.
Visit — Hampton Court Palace (State Rooms, Gardens & Maze)
Self‑guided visit with included entry. Hampton Court offers accessible entrances to many parts of the palace and gardens. The famous maze involves steps and uneven ground — optional to skip if mobility is limited. Chauffeur will remain nearby for your agreed pickup.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the accessible entrance at Hampton Court and ask staff at the entrance for the step‑free route through the main State Rooms.
- Benches are located around the gardens and near the palace; plan rest breaks after each major indoor section to avoid fatigue.
- If you want a quieter experience inside, request staff advice on less‑crowded rooms; late‑afternoon tends to be calmer in spring.
Return transfer & Dropoff to Central London (end of tour)
Relaxed return to your London hotel or preferred central dropoff. Driver can stop for a short comfort break en route if needed. Tour ends on arrival and safe assistance out of the vehicle is provided.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm the exact dropoff location with your chauffeur (hotel lobby or main entrance) so assistance is ready on arrival.
- If you feel tired after the day, ask the chauffeur to help arrange porter service at your hotel on request.
- Keep a light snack and a bottle of water handy for the return drive to maintain energy levels; chauffeurs can refrigerate small items if needed.
