“We enjoyed being inside the beautiful and magnificent palace and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. However, there were logistical problems in getting in and beating the line, it took 2 tries and about 20 minutes. Then there was security issues with people who had strollers and a Polaroid camera, another 10 minutes lost. The guide spoke solid English but had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand at times. In the end, we had a shortened speed visit with difficult comprehension. We wished we would have stood in line, done at our own pace, and read the provided signage inside.”
