“This was a great 90 minutes with Koffe as our guide! He was an amazing storyteller AND knew all the history and facts! He truly made the experience awesome. It is important to know that you have 90 minutes with the guide and then you can explore wherever you want for as long as you want once the tour is done. It was a great value for the money and Koffe truly helped us understand the important history of the castle along with some fun extra facts too like statues with glorious mustaches. We go on many tours and I would highly recommend this one!!”
