    The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the castel and it's history and links to the pope and the vatican It was extremely hot the day we went and the guide was mindful of this trying to explain as much as possible whilst in shaded areas so we were not over exposed

    We hadden een perfecte gids, een lieve dame die goed Engels sprak en het totaal niet erg vond om iets twee maal uit te leggen. Ze gaf de rondleiding met veel enthousiasme en ze was supervriendelijk voor iedereen. Ze controleerde steeds of iedereen mee was en ook of we alles begrepen. Bijkomende vragen stellen was geen probleem. Een echte aanrader qua uitstap én gids.

    The tour was shorter than stated. Also, the guide rushed us through the castle and then gave us a half hour break to go to the bathroom and get something to eat. I would have rather slowed down through the castle and spent more time learning about it.

    The layers of history in this site were revealed by an incredibly knowledgeable guide. She was able to go far beyond any prepared script. handling curveball questions from me and others, such as which government bodies control access to various parts of the Passetto now and in the past century.
