Tickets were booked online and got a response mentioning that the tickets will be emailed to be within 30 minutes. We were at the venue and waiting for the tickets by email. However, even after 45 minutes the tickets were not received. Had to call the call center in US (With additional cost for calls) multiple times to get a response from them. After multiple calls and struggling got the tickets after 1 hours.

We could visit the sight really fast. The palace is really worth seeing and all the staff was nice. What we missed was some kind of plan of the building so you know what is there to see and how to walk inside. Besides we didn't know if it was allowed to visit the garden and walk back through it to the entrance as everybody used the shuttled bus and we were directed only to the bus.
