Showstopper all around - Alex was not just informative and interesting but passionate about the history, the palace and the whys. History explained through each room, piece of art, molding and paint color. Reflections of culture and royal duty evident throughout our tour based on Alex’s descriptions and humor. He made all of us feel warm and happy to be experiencing the beautiful grounds, garden and palace.

Good but very expensive - Excellent guide explanations. She very professional and attentive. I found it a very expensive tour for how brief it was, which was what it said 2 hours, but I found it very expensive.

Nice tour but check for weather conditions and crowds - The castle is beautiful and the tour guide was very knowledgeable; however, I think he failed to “read” our family to make the conversation a little more engaging. It also didn’t help that it was raining and the castle was quite full.
