What to expect

Expect a mix of grand ceremonial rooms with intricate tilework and stucco, leafy courtyards offering respite, and historical context about the rulers who shaped the building. The pace is steady but unhurried—you'll have time to absorb details and ask questions. The Cathedral visit is also included, though the pace reflects covering both sites in 90 minutes.
