    Barbara was great. Plan for longer to see the gardens. They are spectacular! Lots of school kids in June so beware the extra time to get through the palace.

    Guide was very knowledgeable, patient, and pleasant to tour the Palace with. Only big issue IMHO was that the headsets used only went into one ear. Sharing the inside of the PAkace with a huge crowd caused issues hearing our tour guide because of all the ambient noise. Outside the Palace was no problem hearing. I recommend two ear stereo headsets be used.
