5.00It was very unfortunate that at the beginning of the tour I fell sick. I excused myself and went to WC. I got so weak my husband had to come to my assistance. Our dear Aunt, 83 years old, had to leave the tour and come with us to the First Aid. Within 5 mins of the tour we had to cancel the tour guide. She was extremely kind.
Best Lourdes Tour!

5.00Our guide Veronica was very knowledgeable and shared much information about Lourdes. She was extremely patient and very friendly. It was a treat to meet her.
We didn’t make it in time due to difficulty finding the parking.

5.00Having a tour guide helps to experience the Lourdes sanctuary much more. This is true especially when the tour guide knows the people coordinating visits. This seemed even so with our tour guide Joseph.
