点评:Absolutely amazing. I feel privileged to have visited Balmoral Castle and gone on the internal tour with my husband. It was one of the most special days of our lives. The drive there from Gleneagles Hotel via Braemar was special in itself and only added to the overall experience.
I’m not sure how else you could rate this tour other than “5”. It was so personal and so moving. To hear that King Charles had a hand in the development of the tour is amazing but I’m not surprised having also visited Highgrove House and Sandringham.
King Charles has put so much thought and love into the tour - bringing back antiquities to their rightful place such as Prince Albert’s cane to be near the painting of his beloved greyhound - Eos, to the special Indian tapestry tablecloth to display the one of a kind tea service.
The most moving moment was standing in the drawing room where the late Queen’s last photo was taken with Liz Truss. Most of us on the tour were moved to tears. Similarly moving was hearing about the love story of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. To have a statute of Prince Albert at the foot of the stairs that your staff “revolved” each evening so that the last thing Queen Victoria saw at the top of the stairs was Prince Albert’s face is a sign of a love that most of us can only dream of.
The tour guides were excellent (Grace) as were the facilities ( cafe and gift shop).
I don’t understand the rating of 3.8. How else could you rate such a personal history of our beloved Royal Family other than “5”.
翻译:真是太棒了!能和丈夫一起参观巴尔莫勒尔城堡并进行内部游览,我感到无比荣幸。这绝对是我们人生中最特别的日子之一。从格伦伊格尔斯酒店经布雷马尔前往城堡的沿途风景本身就令人难忘,更增添了整个体验的魅力。
除了“5分”,我想不出还能如何评价这次参观。它如此贴心,如此感人。听说查尔斯国王也参与了这次参观的筹备工作,真是令人惊叹,不过考虑到我也参观过海格罗夫庄园和桑德林汉姆庄园,这一点我并不感到意外。
查尔斯国王为这次参观倾注了大量的心血和爱——他将许多古董物件放回了它们应有的位置,例如将阿尔伯特亲王的拐杖放在他心爱的格雷伊猎犬伊俄斯画像的旁边,用一块特别的印度挂毯桌布来衬托独一无二的茶具。
最令人动容的时刻是站在客厅里,那里是已故女王与伊丽莎白·特拉斯拍摄最后一张照片的地方。我们大多数参观者都感动得热泪盈眶。同样令人动容的是维多利亚女王和阿尔伯特亲王的爱情故事。在楼梯脚下摆放着阿尔伯特亲王的雕像,工作人员每天晚上都会转动雕像,让维多利亚女王在楼梯顶端看到的最后一幕是阿尔伯特亲王的脸庞——这象征着一段我们大多数人只能梦想的爱情。
导游(格蕾丝)非常出色,设施(咖啡馆和礼品店)也很棒。
我不明白为什么评分只有3.8分。除了“5分”,还能怎么评价我们挚爱的皇室家族的这段私人历史呢?
