Our lovely guide Lisa/Mona Lisa was amazing! The information given was very interesting and helpful to understand the royal families, relationships, wars and allies. The art and history was well done! Our only wish was that we weren’t so tired. Wish we could have spent the whole day in the gardens.

Great tour to get a feel for the various rooms in the palace and to have an opportunity to stroll around the palace gardens combined with a history lesson. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I loved how he took the time to explain the painting on the roof of the great hall (that was probably my favourite part).

The tour was fine and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. In my opinion though it was overpriced for what you get. Also, don’t tell people to show up at 10:15 for a 10:30 tour because they make you wait till 10:45 for everyone to show up. That was ridiculous. Then another 15 minutes wasted on getting headphones, etc. the tour doesn’t actually start till 11:00. It’s basically a one- hour tour.
