Esperienza unica, assolutamente da provare, interessantissimo percorso sulla terrazza esterna del Duomo, godendo di un panorama naturalmente unico al mondo sia della città che della cattedrale stessa, ascoltando la guida di Artemide che ci ha intrattenuto e raccontato aneddoti e storie in modo molto gradevole… Davvero un’esperienza unica al mondo

Désolant. La guide a discuté avec un touriste devant. Puis ferme le cordon et tourne les talons. Le monsieur de la sécurité nous a dit que nous avions 1 minute de retard et que nous ne pourrions pas participer à la visite alors que ce retard était dû au touriste devant nous. 38€ jetés à la poubelle. Aucune discussion possible.
