The castle was easily the most beautiful i,ve seen this far from the in-and outside. And the people that told us about the history and showed some items brought the history of the castle back alive. The views were unbeleavable amazing and Noah was funny and kind.

Wonderful tour! Times for stops were great and the audio tour was very interesting. Our Tourguide, Noah, was really humorous and did a great job 👏 The castle was amazing, but I would have wished for a clearer communication online that the entrance was not included

We had a great day! Especially the stop in Alnwick, where we had enough time to visit both the castle and the village, was amazing. Our tour guide Noah shared some interesting stories and made sure we were safe and sound.
