O palácio é realmente espetacular. O áudio guia foi bom também
Easy purchase and meet up.
Positive experience, clear and timely information, also via WhatsApp. Meeting point for ticket collection and accompaniment to the inside with the strategic guide to avoid queues.
The history and the architecture are both really stunning! Absolutely worth going.
The audio guide could be better. Other than that everything was perfect
Great. Lots of information in the guide. It's very big, so you have to go with several hours to be able to see all the buildings well
The group of participants was too large, and the palace is very spread out. We were not given a good explanation on how to visit it in the best way, except for the first part, the harem.
The audio guide has to be downloaded on your own phone and there is no wifi in the palace. All four of us downloaded it beforehand per the instructions but none of us could get it to work. Go with a regular small group tour - it isn't very much more expensive than this.
Lots of history and lots of beauty. I recommend it!
