There might be some problems outside of our control which might limit the amount of time at a castle. For example, traffic on the roads might cause the bus to be late. It is also possible for a particular castle to be closed to the public for some special event. In which case, we will do our best to alternate the schedule, but it might not always be possible. For example, a NATO meeting might be taking place in the castle in which case the castle would be close to the public.
