The tour was the perfect length for our family of 4 (3 year old and 8 month old). They provided headphones so you could hear the tour guide even if you were across the crowded rooms, which we preferred many times with our young kids. Our tour guide, Valerie, was very knowledgeable and kept things light and fun. Highly recommend!

Tour was excellent. Mary Khristin was an excellent guide. She was very detailed and provided us a lot of information. You have to meet at the store location provided which is a 10 min walk to the palace. From there on it’s easy. It’s a lot of walking between the castle and garden so wear comfortable Shoes. It’s also hot in the hot season as there are no ACs inside so dress appropriately. After the castle tour, there is an option to go eat at a cafe. FYI, Angelina cafe is on site..proper lunch menu as well as a snack menu with minimal wait times. Snack section has their famous hot chocolate as well as desserts and salad/sandwich options. I enjoyed the gardens as well. Two separate tickets are needed for the castle and gardens. Gardens have a musical and water show for the fountains so plan accordingly.

Our group was much larger than I expected (over 20) but we all had headsets given to us in order for everyone to hear the guide. We had a morning tour and I was glad to skip the line. I enjoyed the tour guide, her stories and the history, but if I had to do it again, I would just like an (skip the line) entrance ticket and to wander/view the artwork and Palace on my own. It was overly crowded inside. FYI, there are two takeaway cafes near the exit that have good sandwiches, salads and drinks should you want to grab a quick bite before exploring the grounds.
