A great time! For the 2 pm option, you can just about cover all four parts of the castle grounds in 2 hours (everything closes at 4 pm), but you will need to be fast. The ticket is valid for two days and covers other activities in Old Town as well. Great value for money, and the audio guide is worth the extra money for the historical and cultural context.

It's a must, you sould defenitley do this tour. You may want to go early though, because there is a lot to see an it might take a tot of time to really enjoy it.
