    Interesting tour, good guide, good group. The funicular is a great advantage. Perhaps at the height of the season the queues to the funicular could be a bit longer.

    My partner and I enjoyed the day very much; the view from the castle at sunset was beautiful. The tour more than delivered.

    Good introduction to the city. The funicular railway makes the experience special. Wear suitable footwear to climb up to the castle.

    Interesting tour, good climb, good castle. Maybe the part of the old town was a bit rushed, but still very good.
