Susan, when Ray and I spent a week there pre cruise,we stayed at the Peninsula.
We hired a car,driver and guide (through the hotel) for two days and went all over,she took us everywhere.
We did the Palace on our own but hired one of their guides to show us around...wasn't expensive at all.
We also used a great tailor "Marty's New Fashion" and had clothes made...they were referred by good friends, and we were pleased with them. They have a web site and ship to Canada if you re-order later.
