The guided tour was outstanding, and our guide Michelle was knowledgeable, professional, and engaging throughout. She really brought the history of the castle to life in a captivating way. The castle itself is full of rich history, and every room felt unique and meaningful. The artwork and paintings were impressive and added so much character to the space.
