The visit was very interesting but we had to purchase audio guides because the digital guide was unusable. We also purchased the visit to the kitchens and the little castle, which involve a separate ticket. The experience was good only for the castle, certainly not for Headout which I do not recommend because of the difficulty of communication.

Easy to purchase tickets and you could get off at whichever stop you wanted to as long as you knew which stop it was and when to press the stop button on the bus! Would have been good to have been informed beforehand that you needed to press the stop button just after the stop before the one you wanted to get off at, otherwise the bus doesn't stop!

It was a nice tour, just a pity that we.had to leave the bus after 1 tour to wait for the next departure and return later. I understand it of course because only 1 bus runs and Triest is not Rome of course.
