La guide Antonietta a été très agréable à écouter. Son sourire et ses explications ont contribué à nous faire passer un excellent moment pendant 2h. Elle nous a également donné les clefs importantes pour continuer la visite tous seuls. Quant au site, il est juste EXCEPTIONNEL !!! Très satisfaits de notre expérience.
