What to expect
A two-hour circuit beginning at the meeting point, where you'll be fitted with a wireless receiver to hear your guide clearly. You'll walk through interconnected palace chambers at an unhurried pace, stopping to examine tilework, ceilings, and the stories embedded in each room. The second half moves into the gardens—fountains, manicured plantings, and shaded walkways where locals and locals-in-the-know often sit. Expect stairs, uneven stone, and some standing; the route demands moderate fitness. Weather or royal events may close sections without refund; the gardens especially can become inaccessible.
Good to know
Bring your passport or ID—security checks names against your booking. Public transport reaches the site; no hotel pickup included. Unsuitable for those with mobility challenges. Poor weather or state occasions may restrict garden access; closures don't trigger refunds. Wear sensible shoes for cobbles and garden paths.
