Everything was perfect. Martins was an excellent and professional guide. I'm very grateful. Only at the counter they didn't accept your tickets, they said you couldn't sell guided tours. They were even a bit rude to me, saying that the ticket was worthless. They moved on to the next service, leaving me behind. I bought a ticket with Martins to check for a refund. Then I was guided by Martins and everything was perfect. Thank you very much.

Visiting the castle was great. Prices are way cheaper if purchased at the front desk, however, if you want to skip the ticket line and head to the entrance, this is a convenience.
