Very interesting you exciting. I do not give 5 stars because at the last moment we changed our visit to it, it was no longer in French but in English my daughters and I did not understand everything explained. No compensation. Otherwise the guide was excellent

Two grandmothers and two grandchildren discovering the magnificence of this dome, accompanied by the enthralling tales of Luciano, our prepared and witty guide.

Our visit was rescheduled... luckily we were there for several days and were able to find a date... the visit itself is great! Our little guide guillia really knew a lot of things and was very attentive to our requests.
