Nice but really TOO busy

The gardens are lovely and the guide was fantastic. But really many and many people that one lets in. And to think that we were in pre-season and that in high season there is more than twice as many people coming.

Operator response

Hello, we recommend coming during the off-season. We can't control when you decide to visit the site yourself.
