A los niños les gusta bastante la realidad vitual. No resulta facil localizar al guia, en meio de los tumultos de turistas, porque la bandera negra que se supone que porta, es un trapo pequeño que hay que buscar con mucho esfuerzo. La guia , muy amable, resolvió amablemente los problemas que surgieron debido al mal tiempo

The virtual experience is very bad, I couldn’t imagine that it would only be virtual glasses, outside the coliseum, in the sun, with nowhere to sit, we had to stand on a crutch…. it’s not worth it. Bad value for money.
