Great 4.0

Good to see but very busy. our visit was hampered by rain which made it fairly difficult to navigate the crowds and floods. Overall happy to have seen it and also happy to have skipped the queues using Klook.

Fantastic 5.0

The purchase was very straightforward and it allowed us to skip the long queue at the entrance! The audio guide will be available once you go past the queue, it can be downloaded via a QR code in a big sign.

Just scan the tickets at the entrance to get in! Easy redemption of the tickets. Save time queuing at the ticket booth. Downloading the audio guide is easy too.

Average 3.0

unfortunately the whole palace went on strike in the morning so it was very chaotic when it opens at noon time and everyone (those who came here for the morning and afternoon sessions were all cramped at the entrance) The only good thing was, having bought the tickets in advance the queue was shorter than those who needed to buy the tickets on the spot. This site is best done with a tour guide as information there was very limited

nice and interesting. well preserved, try to come early before the touring buses arive (first arrive 10:00) to reduce waiting times.

The audio guide is not official; instead, you have to download an app on-site. While the content of the guide is decent, you can actually hire a tour guide directly at the location. Personally, I feel that hiring a guide to explain things is much more engaging than listening to an audio guide.
