Lots of walking on uneven ground. Very informative. The headphones helped a lot so we could hear in the crowded noisy rooms. Save time to walk the gardens.

I didn’t have the experience. We arrived at the scheduled time and place and found 3 tour groups assembling. We asked all 3 if we were part of their tour group they all said no. We went to the entry for groups. Not there. Finally found a phone number, was told our guide had already entered,, was out of contact, and we were out of luck. I requested a refund and they apologized, said that was not possible and hung up. I am contesting the charge but have not heard back. I advise anyone using Viator to get a contact number. Finding one was difficult. Also, having the guide have a clearly identifiable sign would be helpful. None of the groups were easily identifiable. Hoping viator makes it right.

I called Viator the evening before our tour to request a change in the time of our tour to a later time on the same day. Viator customer service said they would email the vendor to request the change, promising me a email response by the vendor. I received no response and lost $320 on the missed tour. I understand that a time change might not been possible, but I would have appreciated a response from the vendor.

Crowds. Crowds. And more crowds. The palace and gardens were absolutely beautiful and so unexpected in what stories are shared from the kings and queens who occupied the palace. I will say there is a lot of people and it can feel a bit overwhelming. We really enjoyed our tour guide and small group feel. It was so much more personal than if we were in a group of 40
