Our guide Courtney was great We were on the delux tour and well worth it, given the amount of time on the bus. Our driver Vlady was awesome too. Just be aware that there us a ton of walking- uphills and stairs to see the castle. A mile uphill walk to get to the castle since shuttles not running bc of snow. Super interesting and we enjoyed it very much.
