The tour was great but a lot of walking. I'm not sure why we needed to meet at the bottom of the hill when we had to walk all the way up again. It was difficult for most people to walk. And we had a lady in a wheelchair who had to use the trolly train to get up the hill. Also, make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella if the forecast suggests rain. It started to rain and we were all cold and getting soaked! The group was way too large, so it was difficult to hear the stories.

Fabian was a great tour guide who told his stories very theatrically and was well-versed in what he was speaking on. It wasn’t necessarily a tour of the area really, we more just stopped at various parts of the castle district and listened to stories. But the stories were well-written and presented.
