Windsor - what is there to do?
Although the main draw is Windsor Castle itself, there is more than enough to see and experience in Windsor and Eton to last for 2 or 3 days.
Windsor Castle
Of course the main attraction for first time visitors is Windsor Castle and is the 'must see.' Most people will take around two hours to explore Windsor Castle, the largest inhabited castle in the world and in pristine condition.

Small group tours (March-October only) of the College are a fascinating experience, which includes the Cloisters, the Chapel, the oldest classroom in the College and the Museum of Eton Life. Eton High Street is full of galleries and restaurants.
Windsor river front
Windsor river front is a good place to relax, Alexandra Gardens, a traditional Victorian park borders much of the River Thames at Windsor. The Thames path can be followed all the way back to London or even Oxford. Feeding the swans, boat trips, rowing boats are just some of the evergreen activities you will find here.
Windsor Old Town
Windsor Old Town is right next to the main Windsor Castle entrance. It can seem bordering on tourist tat at times but the buildings and history are authentic and even the most cynical visitor will be tempted into a photograph or two.

Full size touring coaches for large groups
If you have a large group then that is not a problem either
The largest coaches are 50 seat coaches but we also have access to vehicles half that size.
With large groups if your average passenger is bringing more than one large case and a small item of hand luggage it might be the luggage capacity of the vehicle rather than the number of passengers that drives the correct size of vehicle required. The point being that estimating the amount of luggage you will be bringing is just as important as knowing how many people in your group.
Stonehenge and beyond options too
Stonehenge is about 75 minutes drive from Heathrow, if you have the time and inclination you can combine both or just visit Stonehenge or perhaps Oxford and other attractive options.
Below is a simple graphic showing some of the more popular destinations people want to visit from Heathrow.
