Dankzij onze gids Martina een geweldige dag

Heel veel gezien hele leuke gids haar naam is Martina ze was duidelijk en heeft ons veel verteld op een leuke en aandachtige manier Het Vaticaan moet je een keer gezien hebben Enigste minpunt is de prijs 154 euro en dan nog 15 uur wachten voor de Basiliek Verder een ervaring die je niet meer vergeet
