5.0Meeting our guide was very simple. Easy process to check in. Fredrique was a great guide. Very informative and we would definitely recommend this tour to all! Climbing to the of the dome is not for all. The top is very steep, windy, and a lot of steps. The view is so worth it. Overall great experience!
Very educational and thorough guided tour.

5.0Frederic was our tour guide and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about the basilica and highly recommend this. If you can, book the morning tour which is what I did which helped avoid the lines.
