Marco was very kind and knowledgeable! He even took us to couple of other churches. We stopped for a little snack along the way. Marco explained he church in detail. Highly recommend!

The connection was difficult. The tour guide was very difficult to understand - English was not good! The walking was much more than described. Also a couple of the churches could not even be accessed. Also, there was to be some coffee, or refreshment - that never happened! I could not recommend this to anyone interested in the churches. It would be better to do it on your own.
