Unfortunately at the meeting point we were out in the blue mosque first line instead of the Palace line. When the mistake was realized we had missed the time for entry into the palace. Due to our schedule we therefore did not have time to do it at the end. The guides need to pay more attention when assigning people to groups.

The venues were amazing, we did skip the queue but the guides were less than desired. I would have wanted a bit more info about re history, architecture, events. But overall acceptable. I felt like money were more important than the experience. And when we needed to contact the support team re place of meeting...silence (although we contacted the via WhatsApp). All in all, loved the place wouldn't use the same agency
