Tour molto interessante !

La nostra guida, Donat, è stato molto bravo nel raccontarci particolari interessanti sulla città e nel mostrarci i luoghi corrispondenti. Benché non fosse italiano è riuscito a trasmettere con sentimento particolari avvincenti sulla storia della città e importanti nozioni. Grazie ancora per l'interessante viaggio nella storia!
