5.00My wife and I had a wonderful tour, guided by Bo, who was very knowledgeable and attentive to the group. When we finished the interior portion of the tour, we entered the gardens that were equally as magnificent, taking the tram around the grounds. We got off the tram about halfway and had a wonderful lunch at La Girandole restaurant in a beautiful setting. Great tour, highly recommend.
History and trivia very well presented.

3.00Good organization for welcome on arrival at the statue. Beautiful place. Too many people. The guide's comments drowned in unnecessary details and not on the history of the castle. Evasive comments also inside the castle Very disappointed this time. Have visited 2 years ago the comments of the guide was very professional and interesting.
Okay.
