In the basilica you need to be covered on your shoulders and down to knees. They sell a cover for 2e if you need. I wish the tour had told us this in advance.

My 9 year old son and I enjoyed this walking tour. It’s a relatively small tour of the city center but very informative if you like history. It was also under 2 hours long which is about all my son could handle.

Excellent tour with Maria. Extremely knowledgeable and the devices that we had in our ears allowed us to hear without effort in spite of walking around different places and being in a group of about 12 people or so. The choice of locations was also excellent.
