“I really enjoyed hearing the explanations and looking how the palace was back in the day! We decided to take the tablet since a guided tour was waaaay moreee expensive, I overheard some groups with guides and they were saying more less what the tablet also explains. I saw a comment saying that to locate the areas was difficult to do, for me it was not at all, I found everything in between minutes and following the tablet we did the tour in 1 hour 20 min. I recommend a lot!”
