The visit was amazing! The only thing that felt uncomfortable is how we skipped the line. The restaurant staff just opened the door & left us on our own to the entrance. The staff should have walked us to the entrance ticket agent & told him that we could skip. The bad stares we received was not appreciated.

I like the history of the palace. We paid $100 a person, family of five, that is without a guide and paying more for audio. What you see is in the palace is probably 1/3 of the entire palace. Then we did not have access to the gardens unless we were willing to pay more. I would say it was not worth $500, that is outrageous. I can't believe the garden aren't always included with every ticket for admission.
