Je n'ai pas aimé recevoir les billets sur mon téléphone la veille. Je préfère pouvoir les imprimer avant. L'audioguide n'a pas pu être téléchargé car non compatible avec mon téléphone. Décevant.

Nous avons réservé 2 audioguides pour 20€, alors que sur place le prix aurait été de 16€ (10€ pour le premier et 16€ pour deux). Dommage qu'on n'ait pas pu bénéficier de cette réduction sur le site. Sinon tout a très bien fonctionné.

A unique site and not too busy. Visitor experience marred by the poor coordination between location number ing on map, audio guide, and on site. We missed a couple of experiences as a result. Site signage very poor.

M'ha agradat com es veu de be com era la ciutat, es molt realista, es veu que hi ha molta feina a fer, però et fas una idea força clara . Es l'únic lloc on realment ha sigut efectiva la compra on linees de les entrades.

Ticketing experience was super easy but I had to download the app. Place was amazing and not busy at all. Probably didn't need skip the line tickets for our particular day. We went early May on a nice day.
