A display of historical wealth - Hot weather and gas to stand in the foyer without water or a seat for a long time. Tour guide spent a long time in the courtyard explaining the history. It is a remarkable place and experience I would highly recommend but not in peak season. Our tour guide was a but jaded and grumpy

I would not recommend! - The tour was cut in half, very little communication from tour company or Viator. Basically both had a take it or leave it attitude and blamed the other. I understand that it was close to Easter, but the listing is misleading (entire tour was 1 hour and 15 minutes, not the 2.5-3:00 hours as advertised.
