Very informative. Saw items that I wasn’t expecting to see. Our tour guide was interesting to listen to, giving an abundant amount of information.

Meh ... We were able to quickly and lately book this tour. It was an hour long, the guide was courteous, but unfortunately the day was rainy, and dreary, which made the basilica extremely busy and loud. There was ongoing construction causing noise in the basilica, the guide spike softly, and the English was not understandable. It was dark and crowded. It just wasn't a good experience. Could have skipped it, but now know what the inside of the basilica looks like. In summary, the day was dreary, getting into the basilica was overcomplicated and overrun, the basilica was too dark, and crowded to really appreciate, plus the guide wasn't understandable.
