    Good experience but was not told basilica was closed until the tour began. False advertisement. Honesty is always the best policy.

  • Lovely visit with Juliana

    We had a lovely tour with Juliana! She shared so much interesting information and we learned and appreciated so much during our visit. I found the museum itself to be overwhelming and extremely crowded (our group was even diverted for a little while in an attempt at crowd control, though I'm not sure it was at all successful) but Juliana kept us together and entertained the whole time.

  • Tour guide was excellent...

    The meeting point was easy to find and we were taken into the building very quickly. We were then given a fantastic tour. The tour guide was really special and she went above and beyond to make the tour very special. Her knowledge was incredible and she is a credit to your company.
