**★★★★★ Hasan Rakib — 2 months ago

This service is incredibly helpful. Whenever I needed support, the team responded quickly and guided me step by step. Their patience, attitude, and willingness to solve problems made my experience very smooth. I truly appreciate their helpfulness

**★★★★★ Saqib Khan — 2 months ago

Firstly no tickets are needed and it is free entry with a decent amount of parking at the front (you just have to sign in). This is a very historic + cultural place with a lot of significance however the good thing is, that it isn't very big - took around 40-45 minutes to walk around and see everything.

The structure has been well maintained and it is very easy to get around and see many views of the city from the top. You can also enter many of the rooms.

Overall this was an enjoyable, relaxe
