    It was great. We had a local guy with a strange name as our guide, and it was clear he knew the area well. The tour lasted about two hours, and I was left wanting more. I also did the castle tour with the same company.

    I liked the service because we had a delay and ended up missing the activity, but we managed to resolve it. The castle is very beautiful and worth visiting with the audio guide to learn about its history. Civitatis allows us to pay in installments with low interest rates.
