How to choose
A proposal built with care.
Choosing your experience
The fortress and old town offer complementary ways to discover the city. History lovers can request dedicated guiding; those seeking a more sociable day can consider a shorter visit followed by lunch. A private guide does not mean exclusive access to monuments: admission, opening times and permissions still require confirmation.
Planning your time
For half a day, choose one focus: the old town or part of the fortress. A full day allows a broader combination with time for lunch and breaks. Avoid squeezing every castle and additional transfers into a tight schedule: visit length and your pace matter more than the number of stops.
Mobility, season and weather
Uphill paths and outdoor sections require attention to mobility, footwear and weather. Tell us if you start at the station or a hotel and whether you prefer shorter walks. For rain or heat, we can seek a route with more indoor breaks, checking venue opening times before proposing it.

Useful answers.
Do you organise private events inside the castles?
We do not claim availability or agreements for private castle use. Any such request requires checks with the operators; we do not promise exclusive access or venue hire.
What does it cost and what is included?
The price depends on date, duration, guests and services. The quotation specifies activities, any admission, meals and transfers. Share your budget; an enquiry is non-binding and extras should not be assumed included.
Is the entire experience private?
Privacy depends on the confirmed services. A dedicated guide, a reserved table and exclusive use of a space are different things; we specify what is reserved for your group.
