Reviews
We were supposed to meet at 10.15 for 10.30 and although it made it quite clear in the information, that backpacks and wheelchairs were not appropriate, people still arrived with both! At 10.30, we were ushered to a very large group nearer the Basilica in the raging sunshine. It wasn’t until 11.00 that we actually began the tour so whether we gained much (with regard to time) was debatable.
However, the guide was superb and dealt with those who bought backpacks and the wheelchair with patience beyond my understanding.
She spoke with clarity and was very easy going, smiling and answering our questions.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour and it was only given 4 stars because of the long wait in the sunshine.
