Tour time changed, which created a conflict. However, able to climb the stairs to take in remarkable view but missed the full tour.
Good. I'm missing a little more depth.
Very dedicated leadership of Mr. Felix. A remarkable Gothic filigree architecture of the church with beautiful View
Excellent experience, The church is worth getting to know inside, with the guide helped to know much better the details it has.
It was a great experience! The history, architecture, everything! Beware of the narrow staircase if you have the tour with access to the towers. The long staircase is worth the hassle. The views are magnificent!
It was amazing our guide was so knowledgeable it made for a fun day, the church is spectacular , the walk to the tower was a little strenuous but we all made it except for one older lady
Anna was wonderful. She is very passionate about the church and has great information. The rooftop is spectacular and worth the steps.
The guide,Jacob, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was able to clearly explain the history of the development of the city and how Santa de Maria del Mar fitted into it. The view from the rooftop was definitely worth the walk up the steps.
Santa María del Mar was amazing to see. You must tour the whole thing to get the full experience. Felix was a great guide and was very knowledgeable. It made all the difference.
Very informative visit, the guide explained very well and very interesting, the views from the terrace are incredible. Lots of history! Super recommend!
