The tour was good for the price. The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. We could only see the garden areas per the itinerary. The garden was beautiful but not impressive, but still worth visiting.

You need to be able to walk for 2 hours and some hills involved. Very scenic and interesting facts about the royal family.
