    The castle itself was very beautiful and rich of history. Our guide was great and answered all our questions we've had of him plus he was very helpful with directions. We also liked the inclusion of headphones, as this way it was guaranteed that we will hear everything he has to say. Overall great expirience and we hope to exlplore the rest of the castle sometime later.
