★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26 reviews · from $40

“La guida, Daniela, era brava, preparata e si esprimeva, bene, in italiano Il tour all’Interno del Palazzo del Parlamento è stato troppo breve. Non è stata mostrata neanche la camera dei Deputati, ma il solo Senato. Viste le dimensioni dell’edificio, la visita doveva essere più ampia, tenuto conto anche del costo pagato ( € 35,00 per persona, oltre a € 12,00 per il biglietto di ingresso nel palazzo)”
