not sure what to say - we arrived to a particular location and we were the only people on the tour (two) and it ended up being 30 minutes long (with information that we could broadly have discovered online) - the tour guide asked if we had any questions and when I asked one told me to wait that he would answer that question later - we were told after 30 minutes that the crypt bit of the tour wouldn't take place as it was closed....and to ask for a refund. We did so, but haven't heard yet....we hope we get it otherwise we spent £222 for a 30 minute guide.
Our tour guide, Nick, was simply fabulous. He was a wealth of knowledge about the history and architecture of the church. We hadn't expected to go inside but were able to do so and it was really worth that experience. Both churches are some of the most beautiful in the world. Do yourself a favor and book this tour and if you can, ask for Nick. We wish him the best as he works on his degree. Many thanks

My elderly mother, my husband, and I did a private tour with June. It was amazing! We learned so much about the architecture and history. It enriched our earlier experience of attending the 8 am mass. (We had no reservations but had no difficulty entering the cathedral at 8.) June was wonderful, knowledgeable, and very accommodating with my mother’s difficulty with stairs.
