Everything was as expected, meeting point was easy to find, thanks to the very detailed explanation we received in the reservation. The guides were super helpful: they gave clear instructions on when and where to go, provided interesting infos throughout the whole jurney, even when we were at the bus and just looking out of the window. We had a beautiful day filled with wonderful sights!

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.

The headouts were okay, but the fact that, despite having internet access, I couldn't open the tickets on your site in front of the castle was pretty lame.

The best time to visit the castle is in the morning. The first tour starts at 10:00 a.m. during the off-season. Of the 50 rooms, only 15 are open to the public; the rest are used for administrative purposes. The tour is conducted using audio guides, but the tours are very tightly scheduled at 10-minute intervals, so you hardly have time to take a closer look at the details before the next group comes in. The groups are about 30 people big, and there's always a guide with each group. You have to order the audio guides online in the language you want. But it's no problem to switch to another language once you're there.
