la guide n'était pas sympa du tout. il y avait 8 français non anglophone sauf 1 sur 22 personnes et elle a refusé que la personne fasse la traduction parce que ça perdrait du temps pour les autres. De plus ses commentaires n'étaient pas assez historiques mais plutôt des anecdotes.
Tour interessante. Ma andrebbe corretto il nome, il castello di Buda non c'entra nulla
