If you're interested in a nice, leisurely, short tour of the palace - this would accomplish that. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The palace and grounds are huge and you get dropped off in the palace at the end of the tour. Take an earlier tour time if you want to do a lot of exploring.
