5.00Hello everyone, I highly recommend this softer and lighter version of the visit to the castles. I say more relaxed because despite the duration is 10.30h the day is faced with tranquility. This thing in my opinion leads to enjoy more the visit that was made perfect by the guide Deyse (super prepared and kind) In short, top day and super top driving Recommended

Castle and the Palace

5.00This is a Full Day tour. 100000% worth every penny. Very comfortable bus with WiFi and Bathroom. Also snacks and coffee/water provided. Tour Guide Monika was a wealth of knowledge and spoke great English. 3 different stops gave you plenty of time to explore take pictures and even lunch. Lots of tourists shops to buy whatever you want or need (even on a Sunday). Do yourself a favor and book this. Zero waiting in lines at either castle or Palace. ** Make sure you wear comfortable clothes and shoes the walk to the Castle is not flat at all…
