Everything lovely, the palace is beautiful, the guide very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. But I wish there had been the possibility of a guide in English, as I went with an English companion and I had to translate throughout the tour, and I imagine there are English speaking visitors who would like the option of an English speaking personal guide. Otherwise, it was lovely.
