Very nice visit to a place heavy in history. Guide are very pedagogical and pleasant, the same goes for actors who allow to immerse themselves completely in the visit. The site is very well maintained and respected. The cruise was also very pleasant, the captain added a good touch of humor that woke us up well in the morning.
