We met Alessia out the front and she guided us from one amazing statue, staircase, artwork, room, hallway, fountain and garden to another! It was a highlight of our trip to Italy and one I will recommend to anyone. It was just my husband and I so there was no need for headphones. We were able to stop and ask questions whenever we were taken by something. The castle and it's symmetry is unbelievably beautiful and, as you go from room to room you see glimpses of the cascades through the massive windows but nothing prepares you for when you arrive by bus at the top of the three kilometre cascade and look down to the castle and beyond! Alessia came with us on the bus and walked us through the beginning of the English Garden - a welcome coolness on a hot, late August day. We were very glad we brought our large umbrella as it made the walk back to the castle bearable. I would definitely visit again having done the tour.
