Reviews
Die Dame, die uns geführt hat, hat die Führung sehr interessant und verständlich gestaltet, wir waren sehr begeistert und beeindruckt.
Only tour I was able to book a few days away. Enjoyed it, it is a must see, there is no doubting this. I do find the price exaggerated, but still glad I did it (I paid 65 euros)
esperienza unica, patrimonio da curare e valorizzare. La guida era preparatissima e molto cordiale. Servizio navetta per i giardini molto efficiente. Sorveglianza al top. Pronti a riprendere turisti maleducati. Unica pecca il bar/buvette dove non sono esposti i prezzi delle consumazioni. Alla mia richiesta dei prezzi dei prodotti erano restii a rispondere ed erano molto scocciati, soprattutto l'addetto alla cassa.
