Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle. The stories she told were interesting and gave you an insight to what went on during the days the castle was in use. My problem was I couldn't hear her nor could my mother. Her voice inflection kept going up and down. In some of the rooms the air conditioning was very loud and she didn't speak loud enough to hear over it. When the AC went off then you could hear her. I would highly recommend a Mic so everyone could hear.

The road leading to the castle opens 30 minutes before an event starts - there is a sign explaining this. We got there 35 minutes early, drove around the block once and we were in. Buy your tickets in advance - there are minimums for tours to go on. Tour guide was excellent and used information gleaned from historians and people who used to live and work there. You only get to see some of the castle as they live in the other part. Also, there are some stairs, so be prepared to walk and take stairs. Nothing too strenuous. My senior citizen parents, I and my 20 year old went.
