Excellent information

Gio indicated she was an art history major in college. Her insights and descriptions of the paintings, artwork, and statues was expansive. We really appreciated all of the excellent information that she provided. We had a smaller group and when she thought appropriate was able to offer to take our picture in some of the best picturesque spots! We really appreciated that too!

Totally worth it!

Admission to the church is free so I wasn’t clear exactly what I was paying for with this ‘self guided’ tour except it had a ‘skip the line’ description and we were short on time so I took the risk and purchased the tickets. The best decision I made all week. We arrived at 10am, escorted to security with only 3 people in line and we were in by 10:02. Meanwhile hundreds of people stood in line for ages.
