Elizabeth was an amazing tour guide and super knowledgeable. She was fun and entertaining. It was well worth it to have no crowds to compete with.

I highly recommend this tour, you are bypassing all the general public. You are able to visit the castle without the crowds, it's so much more enjoyable to be able to see all the various sights close up and hear the history of the castle with only a small group of visitors. The castle personnel escorts you to all the highlights and also directs you to where you can visit on your own. You are able to take wonderful photos.
