What Do Our Windsor Guests Say?

Guest Words

 

We are grateful to every guest, travel partner, and event organiser who takes the time to share feedback with us.

With our guests permission, we share a small selection of their words here. They help us understand what mattered most and continue to host with care. Each experience is shaped by the people joining us, the occasion, and the rhythm of Windsor itself.

‘Effortless and Thoughtful’

Claire & Family – UK, January 2026

Why did you choose Windsor Carriages?
I was looking for a tailored, hassle-free way to experience Windsor for a special occasion, without needing to plan every detail myself.

What stood out most about the experience?
The sense of ease. The visit was a surprise birthday gift and delivered exactly the atmosphere and magic I had hoped for, without ever feeling staged or rushed.

How did the day flow?
The pacing was perfect. Timings were adjusted seamlessly in the background so the day felt relaxed and natural rather than regimented.

’Thank you For The Magic'

We wanted to personally thank you for creating such an extraordinary and unforgettable experience for our family/friends.  We visited Windsor Carriages as part of a three-generation girls’ trip — grandmother, mothers, and daughters — and the experience was, without question, the highlight of our entire UK/Europe journey.

It’s difficult to put our gratitude and appreciation into words that truly reflect the magic of what you created for us.  I’ve included our collective feedback in this note - which I hope you can share with your team and potential future customers.

From start to finish, everything felt intentional, personal, and deeply special. Your warmth, care, and attention to detail set the tone immediately, and it was clear how much pride and heart you pour into preserving this remarkable tradition.  John was a wonderful coachman — knowledgeable, gracious, and engaging in a way that brought the history and beauty of Windsor and the HORSES to life for all of us. Crispin captured the day perfectly. His photographs are extraordinary — not posed or intrusive, but authentic and full of life. They allow us to relive the magic again and again, and we will treasure them always.

What means the most is how universally beloved this experience was within our group. Our mom was completely charmed, and our daughter’s utterly enchanted. It is incredibly rare to find something that resonates so beautifully across three generations — and you achieved that seamlessly. The horses were absolutely stunning — magnificent in both presence and temperament — their beauty matched only by the elegance with which they moved through Windsor. Their impeccable training was evident in every step, creating a sense of calm, confidence, and grace that made the entire experience feel effortless and magical.

Thank you for preserving such a special piece of living history and for sharing it with such grace. This is an experience we will recommend wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

With deepest appreciation,

November 2025, Family of six,  Hosted visit with Rebecca, Castle Visit with private guide, carriage and lunch on the estate, Crispin our in house photographer joining us on the estate and chauffeur transfers from London, and hosted evening entertainment.

Family visiting Windsor Castle

‘Unforgettable'

Erin & Family – USA, November 2025

Why We Chose Windsor Carriages
'While planning our family trip to England, I came across Windsor Carriages on Instagram. Windsor Castle and the surrounding park were of great interest to us, and reading the testimonials, along with seeing how Rebecca carries the legacy of this very special company, made it clear we wanted to be part of the experience she could create for our family.'

Our Highlights
'This day was deeply personal for us. We were tracing the footsteps of my great uncle, Benjamin West, historical painter to King George III, who lived and worked in Windsor in the late 1700s. Rebecca planned everything with such care, from collecting us in London to guiding us through Windsor Great Park, the Long Walk, the Castle, and St George’s Chapel.'


'One unforgettable moment was standing in the exact place where my uncle once sketched the park, and later narrowing down the location of where he lived on Park Street. It felt surreal and incredibly moving. Along the way, there were surprises too — including watching a large herd of deer run across the Long Walk.'

Our Thoughts in One Word
'Unforgettable'

Our visit was so extraordinary that I wrote about it here.

Windsor Castle

‘Exceptional'

Sandi & Family – USA, November 2025

Why We Chose Windsor Carriages
'We wanted a way to experience Windsor that felt meaningful and personal. From the moment we first spoke with Rebecca, it was clear she genuinely wanted to understand what we hoped to see and experience, and to take care of every detail for us.'

Our Highlights
'The entire day was beautifully planned and paced. Rebecca, along with her coachman and team, guided us through a memorable visit that felt relaxed yet full. Touring the Great Park by carriage was a highlight — complete with thoughtful touches like refreshments and blankets — and it was clear how much care goes into every element.'


'We also loved having time to enjoy lunch near the Castle and later a wonderful dinner in Windsor. The balance between guided moments and free time was just right.'

Our Thoughts in One Word
'Exceptional.'

Truly a memorable experience!"

"Thank you for an amazing experience. We all had a wonderful time and especially loved Joey (he was such a good boy). Also a shout out for Rebecca and Jonathan for sharing their knowledge and stories of the park.  A very special day for everyone and we really appreciated the bottle of sparkling wine. Also thank you for organising lunch at the guards polo club. It made the day even more magical. The food and drink was excellent and we could even see some polo practice going on in the distance. The girls had such a wonderful time that they are keen to make it a yearly or every two year experience.  I’ll have to get in touch again about future dates for 2024."

Emma, UK,  40th Birthday Celebration, Sept 2023

"An absolutely wonderful experience. The groom and driver were great fun, very knowledgeable and looked after us royally. The 2 seater Queen Victoria Carriage is definitely the way to see Windsor Park with classic lines and a very comfortable ride. Stopping for champagne at great view points, seeing so many deer with their young and of course, the star of the entire ride, Joey, a magnificent horse with lots of character and a very real sense of humour. We now have lovely memories of our 45th wedding anniversary. Many thanks to Windsor Carriages."

Keith, UK, Private visit, June 2023, 45th Wedding Anniversary, 

"From the moment we contacted Windsor Carriages about an event group booking, Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her and the team's pride in offering carriage rides in Windsor Great Park shines through and Rebecca's knowledge and advice on the best experience to offer our 30 guests was spot on, ensuring that every one of them felt like they were receiving a truly bespoke service. The horses and the carriage are beautiful and the setting is second to none. All in all, a faultless service and one-of-a-kind experience that our guests will no doubt talk about for years to come."
