Participants should have a moderate level of fitness—able to walk on uneven surfaces and manage short bursts of standing or light running for kids.
The guide tailors activities for kids, but many streets are cobbled and some alleys are narrow—lightweight or all-terrain strollers work best; toddlers should be comfortable walking short distances.
Local guides typically work in Italian and English; confirm language availability when booking.
Currently the castle may be closed to public entry from June 2025; if closed the guide will provide exterior history and adjust stops to nearby museums or squares.
