5.00The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. It felt kind of long on a hot day, but the place is so large it takes that long.

5.00Our guide did a great job. Very knowledgeable. There were so many things in the Residenze that I did not know existed (Relics).
Unhappy.

1.00Thought this was like other three tours where you showed them your ticket. The fine print said otherwise. By the time we figured it out it was too late for tour. We had to buy new tickets to see it. Much better to buy tickets and use free audio guide than pay $200 more dollars for a live guide. I do not recommend this tour.
Great Tour
