Karl was a fantastic tour guide. He gave so much information and made this an extremely amazing experience. He has the best energy and also being an educator gave us great insight.
knowledgable and interesting short 1 hour tour of basilica, accent easy to understand and really enhanced my appreciation of this extraordinary building
If you’re late there will be no way to communicate with the guide. Instructions had a link but get there 5 min late and the whole thing is off. Caveat emptor!
Turned up twice was told l had the wrong ticket went away reloaded my emails found the other email was again told nope it was not their email gave up. Last trip to Italy & two days in a row have been mucked around by tours.
The guide was very knowledgeable but you are not in the church for very long. You would likely do well here on your own too. Ask for specific location to meet guide. We were behind museo correr but that was very unclear.
Guided to to help you understand everything about the basilica. She had so much information and knowledge about the deep history and the area as well.
The tour stated we would sit in he church to listen to the tour guide. The tour guide told us we could not sit. I told her the tour states that and she said no. I booked the tour because said you can sit. Also we did not get radios until we asked for it and we had to wait.
Very informative. On time. Professional. The tour was only 10 people. Skip the line. Not overly long.
Our guide for this brief tour was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour. I would have liked more detailed information on where to meet the group at the start of the tour. The instructions on the app were vague. I would not recommend using Viator for booking, I would use "Get Your Guide" instead.
It was great getting to know some real history instead of walking around trying to read boards. Monica really knew her stuff
