Guide was very accommodating waiting for late arrivals and lost tourists. Meeting point very easy, guide even provided photo in advance of tour. Guide very knowledgeable on art history snd was able to get the group through all the highlights in the Palace. Total tour about 1.5 hours. Walking very manageable with a few sets of stairs. Time at end of tour to visit palace at your own pace. Back packs must be checked.

An interesting trip in and around beautiful Belvedere. Nice to skip the long que. The guide was interesting to follow, she was very good. But it would have been a plus if we had the possibillity to hear her better. The crowd around / the other visitors unfortunatly made her informative stories a bit difficult to hear. Why not use headset/speakers to make this an even more satisfying experince?
