    I loved not having to queue to get into the palace, there were a lot of people waiting outside. The guide was fabulous, he knew a lot about history and was very attentive. I would definitely recommend it.

    In general I really liked the service, I'm not a history buff but I think it's important to know the highlights of each city. It's a good way to get to know it at least once in a lifetime.
