The planned experience also includes Ruszwurm cake, pálinka and wine tasting, a Matyó family visit, and the Castle Funicular, though you should confirm these extras before booking.
“Giorgio, la nostra guida, è stato semplicemente fantastico. Molto professionale e disponibile. Oltre ad essere molto simpatico, cosa che ha reso il tour ancora più gradevole. Lo consiglio molto.”

Suzie is one guide praised for her passion and local knowledge.

By the kind of castle day, rather than the country.
