Susan, our lovely British guide, was wonderful! Almost a native of Lourdes, 42 years here, she knew exactly where to go and how to tell a story! Susan listened to what we were interested in exploring and explained everything in just enough detail. I would highly recommend her!!

We had a wonderful tour in English with Kathy. She adjusted the tour to avoid crowds. We saw the Grotto of Massabielle to see where Bernadette Soubirous witnessed apparitions of Mary. We were given time to take photos, pray, and offer written petitions. She showed us where to come back later to fill bottles. We were shown the Crypt, The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the underground Basilica, Crown and Rosary Square and the Rosary Basilica. While visiting each place, she explained and answered questions about the Sanctuary’s history and artwork.
