The audio guide was supposed to provide information from the location. You first had to search for which text to play and that was annoying.

You think you know what to expect from the tourist pictures, but is so vast and impressive that cameras cannot do it justice. Great signage and information boards help put it all in context. A wonderful experience and such a world treasure to be respected and cherished.

I loved the views - stunning. But I wanted to commend your staff. In the wind, my glasses blew off to an inaccessible area between the ramparts and the outside walls. Your staff did is everything they could to return them to me safely and I am very grateful. Many thanks for helping a nearly blind customer find her way around again!

We liked everything I recommend booking in advance as we were able to get in without queuing which we were very grateful for as the queue was very long and it was very hot.
