We enjoyed the visit of the castle and it was very nice that afterwards, when we were tired, to just sit in the car and be taken home without worrying about train times. I booked this tour also because of the late pick-up time (11:00) - if you are travelling with teenagers like me, then a start at 08:00 (like some of the other Tours) is just too early.”
