A magical experience - Perfect length, group size and guides. They really put their hearts into the acting and made it fun/interactive/educational. My kids (6 and 9) will remember this forever. Their first castle... read more experience! We actually arrived a bit late so I was ready to be turned away but the front desk staff brought us into the room where the tour was happening so we were still able to join. Very steep and narrow stairs at some points- dangerous for those not able to climb or not stable on their feet. I believe some older guests were given an alternative route from our group but they may have missed one part of the tour.

Highly recommended - We had a wonderful time getting quickly into character with the arrival of the barber the initial activity of munting a coin with the children was a great idea.staff... read more were exceptionally patient with the children. This is not a boring museum and apart from the initial room there is no information to read making it child friendly. All the characters were fantastic and the information was given in a way that my daughter was able to remember later on due to story telling. The rest of the staff were also wonderful. A lovely moment that left me wanting to hear more.
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
