The tour of the castle was ok and we got to witness the changing of the guard. The walking tour was long but very interesting and the lunch provided was amazing, fantastic chicken. The ending with a leisurely, slow one-hour boat trip (no commentary) was a great way to relax and unwind with a glass of wine after a long and tiring day. Excellent day out and would highly recommend this tour and was great value for money.”

Don't get me wrong, she was very sweet and nice and all that, but I got nothing out of the tour and should have just gotten the audio guides that are available at the castle. This tour was not 3 hours. We were in the van 1 hour and still not at the castle. We had to go to the other side of town in traffic to a second meeting spot to pick up a second group…”
