Our tour guide was an older gentlemen with a moustache, really great guide. The information he was telling was easy to understand, and everything he was telling seemed interesting, no unnecessary info. After the tour he gave nice recommendations of what other places to visit. Definitely worth the money. Recommend 10/10

We have booked the tour the day before. Together with my friend we were the only attendants. Our guide Eva was very knowledgeable and was telling the history very interesting. The tour includes only visiting the hill, without entering the church or the castle itself. However I advise you to spend 1,5 hour of free time on this tour
