As the place was very crowdy we were lucky to have our skip the line tickets. It saved us a lot of time. Information provided in the audio guide was interesting and just enough not to get bored. Unfortunately there is no audio guide available in Polish which I find surprising given the amount of tourists from Poland I saw there. The palace is impressive and really worth visiting but unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures inside.

It was good. But instructions were a bit misunderstanding. It was written to meed our guide at one spot. And when we go to this place there is noone. Instead they send us the qr codes to enter by ourselves. And they dont give instructions to just enter. So we waited at this spot. Good that at least they responded quickly enough when I contacted them by whatsapp. Although They did not respond to The emergency telephone number that was given at the ticket. So a bit messy. We still had a great time. So thank you!

The whole process was smooth and easy to understand. The customer service on WhatsApp was responsive and helpful. The boat ride was not too crowded and enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone! Perfect for a one day outing!
