Grigor was an amazing guide: knowledgeable, thorough, witty and responsive to our interests and questions. We visited the gardens on a lovely sunny day seeing the highlights by golf cart. We followed with a tour of the palace that covered the history, architecture and art. One of our party required the assistance of a wheelchair which was efficiently provided for our use. All in all it was everything I had hoped to experience and more, with many extras.loganhV2790II
