הסיור וההסבר היו מצוינים. לא היה ברור איפה נקודת המפגש.הגענו לשער הלא מתאים ונאלצנו להקיף את כל הארמון.ובסוף לחזור שוב ולהקיף את הארמון בפעם השניה כדי להגיע לנקודת ההתחלה ולהמשיך מושם את הטיול.

I had a booked appointment and didn't have to worry about getting in. The guided tour in English was easy to understand and I was informed about the security checks at the Palace of the People. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken my ID with me.

The link received was leading to the other side of the building, so we had to walk 1 Km and arrived later than planned. Moreover, there were indicator arrows guiding only to the wrong place. (they are two different meeting places for two different visits) We were not the only ones in this case. It seems that's something happening frequently, and the two different teams over there don't communicate between them ! Fortunately they waited for us and the guide was really excellent

I loved the Palace and its history. It was breathtaking to view all the marble designed in a huge building as this palace was. The guide was very friendly and patient to explain everything thta we were asking to him.
