Nice small sites, overpriced

Mazal_M, Dec 2025

The small site and guide (Bernardo) were fantastic! Perhaps a tour that is not private would have been a lot cheaper? We were driven about 55 minutes to and from our accomodation, to see the castle, and city centre, both took about 45 minutes. The palace, lunch would be excluded. This tour might be best done independently.
