In the castle itself almost only paintings can be seen. In almost every room. Felt 5 rooms are only about as furnished as before. Otherwise no explanations as to which room was used for what in the past. If you had any questions, the employees couldn't help us because they didn't know anything about the exhibition. The garden: very unkempt! We didn't look at everything because we were so disappointed. Better take a look at the garden in Herrenhausen/Hannover. Garbage was everywhere. The flowers dried up and neglected. The hedges not trimmed properly. Where there was a cut, the cut was on the ground. The lawn totally dried up, unkempt, hilly. In the garden itself you have to stamp yourself out at the end so that you can get into Marie Antoinette's house and the other houses. We asked how we would get back to the car. The employee has become very rude. A colleague then came along and he was also able to help us.

Brilliant way to see a few sites in a short space of time. Transport was very comfortable and arrived on time. The tour can be tailored slightly to suit your needs eg spending less or more time in a certain place. Our tour guide, Froggy, was fantastic. He was knowledge about all the places we visited and was so friendly and welcoming.

After some pickup location confusion, everything worked out well. The activity services delivered directly to my hotel in Ubud and accommodated my request to extend the rental another day without issue. I will definitely return an use your company again in the future.

I had the best day with Sushi, she was really flexible to make sure I see everything that I want to see but also gave great advice for new things. I learned so much about Bali and had so much fun! Highly recommend Sushi for great Balinese experience.

Putu was a considerate and fun guide. it was a pleasure to have him for the day
