What a wonderful tour of the fairytale castle! Our guide Stephen was terrific and extremely knowledgeable. The bus ride, short hike, trip to the bridge, and then tour it through the castle. We're all wonderful. Highly recommend!

We bought tickets in advance for a specific timeslot, so no queues and tour was with audioguide (more language options available). The castle is enormous, beautiful, with lot of interesting decorations. I loved the "cinema" at the end, where we learned more about the history and historically planned constructions, which were never done.

My family of 4 from America had an outstanding time! On our trip through Europe, this tour was our top highlight. Everything went smoothly, the bus was comfortable, and our tour guide Christine was awesome. She had snacks and drinks readily available, and we met some really great people on our tour. I honestly can't say enough great things.
