Cathedral with Portico Tour - Maria provided a very informative tour. We learned about many aspects of the church, its relics that certainly we would not have been aware of. If you have the chance be SURE to include Portico Tour - its significance would have been completely lost on me as one cannot see it without this special access

Lots of history in 2 hours. Fascinating. - Overall a great tour and a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! Only reason 4 stars not 5 stars was a confusing start. I waited at the meeting place but no one there. I got a message 15 mins late to meet a person with an orange umbrella at a different location in the square. It would be good if you add the umbrella comment to the ticket so we know beforehand how to find your guides. Thanks and mucho gracias.
