Nice put wouldn’t do it again …

Our tour guide was wonderful but, they didn’t space the tours efficiently. Way too crowded especially in the summer heat. Was difficult to experience all the wonderful history with people pushing the entire time. Definitely recommend a pre-booked golf cart or pre-booked tram service if you want to explore all the gardens. Must have water on hand since inside palace no water nor upon exiting. You will need to wait another line at the restaurant.
