Mel: brilliant private driver and the best ever "unofficial tour guide" on making the most of our day! - A wonderful day with our driver Mel - who was a superb driver, so much information, useful tips, to avoid queues, and have the best experience. We loved having Mel as our private driver, we maximized our time and she really gave us all the information to make it wow! How funny -- she's not an "official tour guide" and shared so much with us, from travel tips, to history, to "let's take this side road" and "here's the spot for lunch" and so much more. Mel made it wow! PS her lovely Mercedes van was spacious, comfortable, with cold water and more. We felt so pampered.

Expensive but worthwhile. - Great driver/car, very friendly. We discovered that the tour description was unclear regarding entry tickets for castle entry and tour, but the driver Melanie was able to get us entry tickets while we were in the car. The instructions have since been clarified in the online description (entry tickets not included in price of the tour). Although it’s a long ride and an expensive excursion, it was worth it to see the castle and the changing of the guard.
