Interesting, but frustrating people - This tour was good, and our guide Oliver was very patient. Although, the people on this tour were not the best people to be doing tours with as they would ignore our tour guide constantly. Props to Oliver, who kept his cool all throughout the stops. We had adequate time in each of the stops which was very nice.

Long drive in the country - Didn't know we were visiting a castle amusement park. Thought we were seeing real history. The trip was unorganized and confusing. Guide couldn't stay on task would start a story and take a few tangents before getting back to the original point.
