5.00Wonderful knowledge shared with us and history of the castle. Lots of questions answered. I can’t remember the tour guide name, but was very fun and shared all his history knowledge.
Enjoyable but could be better.

4.00Good stops and lots to see and do. Totally understand the need to keep to a schedule, but the guides need to understand the areas they stop in (particularly for lunch breaks) and know that less than an hour to find a place, then a seat, order, get food, eat, etc isn’t enough time. The lunch stop in Callender would have been nicer with a little more time and a guide who didn’t find pleasure in making little jokes about the paying guests being 2 minutes late. The directions to the meeting spot could have been better as well.
