Wish we could leave more then 5 stars! This tour went above and beyond our expectations! Our tour guide was magnificent - so knowledgeable, patient and kind! She allowed us extra time at each location to pray, show our respects, take in the grandeur and shop for souvenirs. We got a wealth of information about the Roman Church and Santa Scala. We even toured another church with her. We never felt rushed. At the end she even asked what more she could do for us. We highly recommend this tour!!!
