Maria and Gabriel, Italy and Paris

This was a very special trip we organized for a couple from the United States. We started in Rome and traveled all the way up Italy to the Alps, from where we flew to Paris. Gabriel and María had time to thoroughly explore the city, including attending a Champions League match between PSG and Benfica, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Additionally, while passing through Rome, we managed to spontaneously secure tickets for an AS Roma match.
