Juste le fait de pouvoir couper la file pour entrer dans la basilique. Sinon rien à dire de plus, visite guidée très banale surtout pour mon épouse et mon fils qui ne comprennent pas l'anglais

The cisterns are amazing, my one star is for this tour. You’re better off to just buy the ticket that allows you to skip the lines and read about the cisterns right there on the spot or online or get the audio tour. The guide adds nothing that interesting, it’s very hard to hear inside and his time with the group is about 20 min tops. You’re better off doing it on your own.

Skip the line was so worth it…. The queue was so long to get tickets that fast tracking was great. I enjoyed the guides commentary and valued spending as much time as I wanted after this in the cistern … definitely recommend
