The Palace and Gardens were spectacular! It was very nice to get in first and no lineups. Our guide, Camille, was amazing. Very engaging and fun to listen to. She made a big difference to our enjoyment for sure too. Really enjoyed the way it was arranged.

Amazing I should have booked the longer one, had 1 hour to go around the garden and it was very short but my mistake, book the long one it's really worth it if you like to relax and enjoy the beautiful gardens, Will go back with this company for sure

    The guide had a thick accent that made her hard to understand at times. Not what I expected when I purchased a tour in English. I heard more clear English pretty much every where else. She tried. I feel bad, but... I did find the bus drop off, drive and return trip to be good

    The guide Elizabeth was very good and the group was organized perfectly. Crowds cannot be controlled (too many people) but the rest was splendid.
