Discover the English countryside together with great colleagues!

We will top off summer with a trip to the English countryside, where we will get to know Windsor during our weekend away. Of course, we will visit Windsor Castle and there will be opportunity to go on excursions by bike, horse and boat. On Friday we will go on a river cruise on the boat, Melody. 

The program leaves ample time to shop and to visit the town of Eton, which lies close to Windsor and is connected by a bridge over the River Thames. We will stay at The Castle Hotel
