5.00David was our driver for the Private Castle Tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about all four castles and he made a few stops along the way to sights we were interested in. He is a good driver too! I would highly recommend him!

3.00It was interesting to tour the countryside and see 4 castles. However we were only able to tour inside 1 of the castles.
Disappointed

2.00This is NOT a tour of the castles. This is a person driving you from place to place. Unfortunately our driver didn’t seem to have much knowledge of the area or the castles and was not very engaging. 😫 For the price we expected more.
3 out of 4

3.00We enjoyed most of the trip, despite the rain, with our driver David but were duked out of the fourth castle as they had closed at 3pm and we arrived just after. The driver should've known about this and got us there ahead of time. Waiting to see if the company will give us some money back...
Sights were amazing

4.00Guide was pleasant enough but fell short compared to other guides we've had on vacation. He was more of just a driver, which he did just fine. This selection of castles was truly amazing to see. We took SO MANY pictures. Even the teens were impressed.
