Great tour - We had a small group with an experienced and thoughtful guide. Despite the heavy tourist traffic, it was very informative.

A fun and interesting experience - I have been to a lot of palaces and this one had some unique features. The history our guide, Marta, gave made this tour very interesting. Marta was by far the funniest tour guide I have ever had and she made this excursion very fun. I definitely recommend and hope you get Marta as your guide.

Unclear meeting place - The guide was knowledgeale. However, the instructions on where to meet was poor. The guide was not even standing at the meeting place. We got so tired walking around and looking for the guide. Such a waste of time and our energy.

Crowded venue...think twice. - It was way too crowded to enjoy...skipping the line just got you in sooner but didn't cancell out the overcrowding. The palace owners appear to overbook so a pleasant experience is not to be expected.

Painfull - Tour guide was fine but the technology was horrible. Mic / audio boxes kept cutting out and at times was picking up other guided comentary (in a different language) this was not a well orchestrated tour and we eventually left. Not worth the cost

Poor - The palace is beautiful but our guide Reuben could not be understood - His English was highly accented - his vocabulary was poor and his knowledge of the palace was very top line . I ditched the earpiece as it was simply awful I were very unlucky with our guide - other groups had guides who were fluent and kept the interest of their group . Disappointed
