The organization was perfect, the pick-up point easy to reach and the guides on time. Our guide was fascinating, pleasant and an inexhaustible source of information about the castle and the city. The tour went by too quickly, and we could have done with another 2 hours.

We were so lucky to have a small group, actually only 4 of us was the group. 😊 The content of the walk was well organised and our guide was super kind and intelligent. We are very grateful to spend the night time together and choose your group.
