Tour in minibus rilassante.
Audioguida più che sufficiente.
I giardini sono un qualcosa di eccezionale ed imperdibile.
Consigliatissimo.

Dopo aver visitato i giardini a piedi mesi fa abbiamo deciso di tornarci, ma questa volta con il minibus! Bellissima esperienza e l’audioguida utilissima per conoscere la storia del palazzo e dei giardini!
