“Excelente tour personalizado”
Raquel nos brindó un excelente tour, adaptado a las necesidades de toda mi familia. Interactuó mucho con mis hijos de 7 y 10 años, y adaptó el recorrido para mis papás que tienen 80 años y alguna restricción de movilidad. Raquel es muy conocedora de la historia y nos pareció una tremenda experiencia para conocer la historia de la virgen de Fátima. Gracias Raquel!
