  • St Mary’s Basilica explanation.

    Guide was so knowledgeable about the area. Very impressed with her ability to explain everything in great detail. Enjoyed the conversation in the St Mary’s Basilica the most. Also shared her knowledge of the university which wasn’t expected when I asked about it.
