Joao was an excellent tour guide. He shared his great knowledge at a good pace. We loved the unique perspective of walking us through a potential battle scenario. Highly recommend.
Our tour operator was easy to spot at the red telephone with his Viator sign. Tour started on time and we saw everything about the castle we wanted to see. The guide was informative, easy to understand and enjoyable.
Great tour - our tour guide Beatrice was really great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great views as well.
The guide was excellent and loved the information she provided. The views of the city were fantastic and the history of the site was very interesting
The Castle is a must see and the skip the line tickets were worth it. Our guide was well informed, but difficult to understand.
Definitely worth getting a tour guide for this, she knew her stuff and made the talk fun and interesting
João was our guide. He was very knowledgeable. The peacocks were a pleasant surprise. You can really see far out to sea from here.
Carla was a wonderful and friendly guide. The tour was perfect to get background of the castle and time period of the area. And we had plenty of time to explore on our own.
