The service offered by head out was excellent: very easy and faired priced. We entered straight forward, without doing any queues. The castle was an impressive work of architecture, I felt like going back to the past.Stanislav

The castle is indeed spectacular, and it was interesting to learn about its history - from a video. A more informative guide would be good. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the experience.

Ticket ordering through headout was very easy!!! The castle was impressive!!!! Definitely worth the visit. The gardens were grand, which in itself was impressive. It was not particularly beautiful, but grand.Maria
