Alex is a great guide, very knowledgable. He filled us in with a lot of interesting facts about the Swabian emperor and the castle. Book the tour with him and you will enjoy a Tour with facts and insights on Castel del Monte‘s story and the region.

I have hink the guide did an excellent job explaining the historical and cultural background, making the visit much more interesting. Pointed out lots of details which would have been missed otherwise.
Lively and interesting stories .
Excellent job.

Marco was an amazing guide. He was so knowledgeable about not only the castle, but the entire Puglia region. His English was perfect and he made the castle so much more interesting, important, and meaningful than if we had simply toured it by ourselves.

Marco was a great guide! Articulate, intelligent and knowledgeable. The site was very interesting and Marco helped us to learn more about the history of the castle and gave us elaborated information on the surrounding area. If you’re in the region you should definitely ask for Marco!

Percorso molto bello , la nostra eccellente guida Alessandro Cascella era preparatissimo, e ci ha accompagnato con entusiasmo e ricchezza di racconto nella storia di questo castello e di Federico II, rispondendo a tutte le nostre domande e curiosità

È stato molto bello!!! Da questa esperienza ho imparato molte cose sul castello. E sono soddisfatta perchè mia figlia che di solito si annoia alle spiegazioni sta volta erano molto interessata. Alessandro è stato una guida preparatissima e bravissima ci ha accompagnati nel castello e nella sua storia in maniera coinvolgente e divertente.
