    Ocorreu tudo como programado. A atividade começou pontualmente. Nossa guia muito simpática. A audiência foi emocionante e valeu muito ter contratado este serviço, para desenrolar as coisas, já que foi nossa primeira vez no Vaticano.

    Der Treffpunkt war schwierig zu finden bzw. hätte wesentlich leichter beschrieben werden können. Das hätte Stress erspart

    The provider City Wonders was a scam. The package included "tickets" to enter the Papal Audience, but NO ONE need tickets for this, they don't exist, everyone has to arrive early and make the line, including those who paid City Wonders. Absurd. However, Musement defended us and gave us a full refund
