Robert and Zso Zso were wonderfully entertaining, they made the day trip fun. Zso Zso was also very knowledgeable about the history of both the castle and Oxford. I would recommend this tour to people wanting to have a nice day traveling outside of London.
Lines to get inside. Many buses and lots of cars in parking lot. Saw all first floor and several upstairs bedrooms. All in very good condition. Big gift shop
Excellent guide in van that transported us from London and showed us around the village and filming locations. Free time to tour the castle and enjoy the grounds.
