The cruise and hospitality of the boat crew was amazing. Highly recommend it. A little disappointed that so many of the rooms at the castle were closed for renovations. Bathroom facilities are horrible. But an A+ for the boat and staff.

One of the best guided tours I have ever been to. Great crew, the boat, the food and the tour of the castle. Atmosphere was friendly and very pleasant. Adam and Katarina answered every question anyone asked. Highly recommend.
