Things to note

- Free tours do not have a set price. Instead, each person gives the tour guide at the end of the tour the amount that he/she considers appropriate (these usually suggested amount ranges from €10 per person to €50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
- To ensure a pleasant visit to the Castle, particularly during summer, I would recommend bringing a hat and water while wearing comfortable shoes, as the path is cobbled.
- The tour is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Free Cancellation

You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
