The place is beautiful and all impressive. Even outside the season there was a lot of people. A walk that's super worth it.
Philip was very knowledgeable and it was very much worth the money to not only skip the line but to hear all about the monastery and church

It’s great to know that the experience and skip-the-line access made your visit even more worthwhile. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on another tour!
We booked a 2 hour guided tour with Frederico, who was a superb, outstanding guide. He put everything in context of the time and made it so much more meaningful. He planned the tour really well and made it like a story. The building itself is so beautiful. We booked the 9 am tour when the light is perfect for photographs. Frederico puts his heart and soul into the tour and I would happily go on any other tour that he does.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Frederico — he truly is an exceptional guide who brings history to life with passion and knowledge.
