An off track adventure but well worth it. No lines at all, not really any crowd. Wen was a great guide. She gave us lots of good info about the church. Highly recommend.
Our tour guide was lovely. He salvaged about his experiences and made history relevant for my 12 year old.
Wen was very knowledgeable and passionate regarding the significance of the Cathedral. She pointed out many items that would be missed or misunderstood if one was to simply enter and walk around.
Our tour guide Wen was amazing. She was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. We learned ao much and enjoyed it tremendously !
Wen, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, besides kind and enthusastic. Could not have asked for a better guide !
Such a wealth of information! Absolutely loved our tour guide! She was very patient with us as we walk slower than most. Reminded us of things we had forgotten.
Wen was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about the basilica. We enjoyed our visit. And the church is breathtaking.
SCAM - DO NOT BOOK. Showed up at a meeting point and the vendor was unaware of any tour. Then you have to try and get your money back from trip advisor, which is no joy to do. Currently submitted a charge dispute with my credit card company. Had three other great tours in Rome this week, no issue, but this one is a scam, so be aware.
Thanks for your review. Unfortunately you were not at the correct meeting point. All other participants on the tour did the tour and were happy with it. Our guide set you 3 messages before the tour and phoned you twice as the start time was approaching. Our office also messaged you but with no response. You say you spoke to a guide which we don't doubt but that guide did not work for us. This further reinforces that you were in the wrong meeting location.
Wen was a fantastic guide with a vast knowledge base about the cathedral and Christianity. Very educational and enjoyable experience.
Our guide Wen was incredible. She brought so much passion and knowledge to the tour. It was inspiring.
