Sylvia was great with our tour of the palace! She was easy to follow and understand, and kept it interesting, light-hearted, and most importantly, informative. Highly recommend!!
It was a very detailed tour, my tour guide Gigi was excellent, she mixed humor with a lot of detailed history. My favorite was about the King who thought he would allowed Napoleon pass through Spain to invade Portugal, but ended up being betrayed and Spain was conquered.
Gigi did such a great job. We loved her personality throughout the tour and the sites that she showed us. Very entertaining and enjoyable
