    Unfortunately didn’t see the basilica due to Pops massage. This Was not made clear when booking as we would have not booked for a Wednesday visit. This should be made evident. As was disappointing. But the guide was very good and entertaining making the visit enjoyable.

    It wasn't clear who our guide was as the company name on the card he was holding didn't match what was on our booking. Our guide, Melissa was amazing. She knew what she was doing and was very knowledgeable. She made the whole tour come to life and pointed out everything of interest. Would highly recommended.

    Der Guide traf am Meeting Point relativ spät ein, was etwas Unruhe aufbrachte, ob die Tour überhaupt stattfindet.
