High-quality bus; the guide told us stories about the places we visited; well-organized and no lines. It could have stayed at the castle for just one more hour—it was too rushed, so we couldn’t explore much, especially since it’s summer and the days are longer.

I was so surprised that a 3 hour tour was so well managed, time-wise, that I had no idea it was already over! And love that it ended with a horse carriage ride down!

Everything was organized down to the last detail—from the bus to admission and the return trip by horse-drawn carriage. Inside, though, there wasn’t much time to see everything properly (45 minutes). Steven was a passionate storyteller.
