The palace was great, a lit bit more of information in the place would be perfect though, and also more books in spanish on the palace store. The ticketing experience wss friendly, easy and quick.

The tour itself is magnificent, but the audio guide on the mobile is indispensable to make it perfect. We enjoyed it very much. The voice was pleasant, the story told with sympathy, and the story she told was truthful and entertaining. Everything was perfect.

Convenience of using the app, and the audio tour on our phones was great. Being able to skip the line and just go through the entrance was worth the price.
