Fantastic guide at very easy pace We did the tour of the palace and cathedral, beating the huge queues and with the audio system made the whole experience very good. The guide was excellent and although we were on the English/Spanish tour it gave us a bit of time to wander whilst he spoke in Spanish.A great pace, never felt rushed and the extra you pay above the entrance fee was definitely worth it.

A bit too quick for my taste Overall it was a fine experience. However, I found the pace of the tour a bit too quick. Also, I was expecting a deeper explanation of the history of the places, as opposed to only curious or funny details.
