The tour was good but very rushed by the time we queued up for security and FINALLY got inside. Was interesting to visit the palace and although very opulent, it's a much smaller scale than many other palaces such as those in Russia. I was incredibly disappointed that we weren't allowed any photography. The reason given is that it's a 'working palace' .. but some of the rooms are photographed so often in formal royal family photographs, surely we should have been allowed to photograph in at least a room or two. Overall the tour guide was knowledgable, but the rush of the tour and the high cost left me with a sour taste.
