Good idea that fell flat

Dina_T, May 2022
private tour due to limited mobility was of no added value. No wheelchairs. No reservation access to carts. Travel agent was advised carts and wheelchairs available. Tour guide said same. Tour guide said do building first then cart. No wheelchair then no cart. Cart stand was a long walk to find out nothing there. Back over cobblestone difficult without wheelchair.

Just Great!

I’ve been on a number of guided tours since 2008 when I retired from the military, and we’ve shuffled through the palace before. This tour with our guide Damien was by far the best and most informative small group tour I’ve been on in years. It’s all about the guide and his/her in depth knowledge not only of the site but the history of the area and the lifestyle - culture and traditions - of the inhabitants. Damien made the difference, a guide who will make your expensive tour worth every penny.

Excelente guía!
