Grigor is the best - Grigor was absolutely engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. I appreciated how he tailored the tour to our interests of mythology, film, and language. We had a blast seeing the grounds and the interiors with someone who has spent years in the palace. I would come back and tour again with him. (Also very good at helping us taking photos!)
