A Wonderful Basilica Tour with Kati - Kati, our guide, was gracious, kind, very clear in her speech and full of enthusiasm and information for her subject: the architecture, art, and history of St. Stephen's. She arranged our tours of the Basilica Treasury and views from the Dome, as well. Outstanding.
