The host can really make people at ease! He knew so much about the house, and history and old architecture in general. The house is so impressive on it's own, but mixed with Vijay's knowledge, it gets alive. We went for the Christmas time event. The time line he read to us was very interesting and he can explain Christmas history from witch hunt to nowadays, using the house as if it was a witnesses of all these changes. Highly recommend!
