October 15, 2021 Lean Nau

We had a really good tour around The Vatican including all the museums. Our guide Rita gave us a very interesting and informative tour. It was at times very difficult having a face mask on all the time but she was able to give us the best tour even with a mask. Thank you very much, Rita Eskild og Susanne

Dotta because it has the oldest university in the world. Cradle of culture. Fat for food (tortellini, lasagna, mortadella) and for the rounded shapes of the Bolognese girls. A three-day guided tour with guide and guide to discover the secrets of Bologna and its surroundings. A journey for everyone, a 360 ° view of the capital of Emilia thanks to our certified guides and escorts.
