5.00The tour was so great! Leo was really interesting, we’ve had a good time. He had so many anecdotes and fun fact to explain. The tour mixed legends, architecture and explanations about the rebuild of the cathedral. It’s been very rich. More, Leo is very nice and really understanding, and let us time to translate what he was saying. We’ve been delighted to do this tour, in family, and recommend it.
Loved the tour with Leo
