“Very good...BUT... I'm more interested in architecture and history then I am paintings, this is more suited to someone who prefers art galleries (there were a few staged rooms and some things history relating to the artworks were discussed) For those who are more like me, I'd just do cathedral and walk around castle on your own as free.”
