“The guide was interesting and gave good information. I did not like the two language tour and wish the tour company was more upfront about that. Listen to the reviews, it will be two languages. It was a medium sized group (not large), but the group size was too big for the small size of the palace rooms. It made it hard to take the time to see the different items in the room.”
