Thrilling stories and spokey atmosphere

Our guide presented well, and answered all questions. Being up on the castle by night and listening to legends about creatures and human beings is a brilliant way to get to know Hungary. I fully recommend the tour! We arrived a bit too late, but our guide spend some extra 10 minutes on us and retold us the stories we've missed. Very nice!
