Good tour- bad job by Viator with meeting address - The tour once we got on it was fine and very informative. The problem is that Viator gives a bad address for the meeting point. Luckily the guide called us and told us where he was. He told us that Viator consistently gives out the wrong address. We ended up joining the tour about 15 minutes late

Skip it - It was all a bit dull. I couldn’t wait for this tour to end. The guide was not lively and was hard to follow. I did not learn much at all. It was a boring afternoon experience.

Overcrowded and Claustrophobic - On the positive, our tour guide Allesandra was extremely knowledgeable and tried valiantly to keep the tour on track, so our experience was not her fault. The palace was fully booked which meant that we moved through the interior at a snail's pace, often not moving at all for several minutes, whilst we waited for tour groups ahead of us to move on. Visitors who weren't on tours were clearly frustrated with the waiting and were pushing through already crowded areas which made the situation worse. Some of this waiting time was in dark corridors which became overcrowded, and both my wife and I felt unnerved and claustrophobic; we were relieved to get out at the end. If someone had been taken ill it could have been very problematic. Ultimately the palace is at fault for allowing overcrowding with the number of visitors. It was an unpleasant experience.
