5.00Doug was a fabulous docent for our group! He made our visit enjoyable, provided many historical facts, and we walked the grounds to see the round pond. Our visit to the palace itself was highly appreciated with views of many staterooms. The high tea was scrumptious! Excellent food, service, and ambiance. I highly recommend this tour!
Great Experience
