We loved our guide, Amir Saad, that had so much passion for history! We had a rainy, foggy day but we made the best of it. We were SO disappointed that the castle tour was so brief. The castle guide should have had a light to shine or a red dot pointer to the things he was pointing out to us to look at. Paying $57.50 EU was a lot for a tour but we were afraid that we couldn't get into the castle after planning our whole trip around it so that part was worth it.

Great tour. Our guide, Amir was really nice, and great at getting people´s attention and interest them in the history of the castle. He has a really vast knowlege of subject to the very last detail. The overall tour is maybe a bit too long (3h) despite the fact that we can only be inside the castle for aprox. 30min. but it's a nice walk through the woods around it. The only negative thing is that after you leave the Headout tour and are inside the castle for the official tour you are treated like a sheep in a fast moving herd, getting hurried past rooms to alow for another paying mob to get in. Inside there is a no photo policy and the museum's security is really anoying and agressive trying to catch visitors taking sneaky photos. Threatening that they will be kicked out!Peddrick
