The grounds were amazing. Tour guide Robert was entertaining. Knowledgeable. Was kind enough to drop us near out hotel.

I think we went at wrong time of year. Nothing going on and had problems with tour company. They picked us up on a over crowded mini bus with a very bad speaker system couldn’t hear any of the commentary on the ride over. When they did pick us up, it was a bigger bass and had a good intercom system had a pretty good tour on the way back.
