It did not happen. Viator placed a message in the app stating that the basilica was going to be closed; therefore, they were canceling. They offered alternate dates and times that I could not meet. I went to the meeting point and my agent never showed up. The basilica opened at 1:00 pm. I ended up paying for a different tour.
Our guide Frederico was great! In excellent French, he showed us around the basilica and underground tombs. Precise, interesting comments, with humor and relevance. Merci Frederico!
