Nice tour
Ciara_M, Jul 2025
In the basilica you need to be covered on your shoulders and down to knees. They sell a cover for 2e if you need. I wish the tour had told us this in advance.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hello! On the platform is specified the dress code required to enter the basilica, so our guests can be prepared and avoid extra purchases. We hope you still enjoyed the rest of the tour!
Well worth doing to...

My 9 year old son and I enjoyed this walking tour. It’s a relatively small tour of the city center but very informative if you like history. It was also under 2 hours long which is about all my son could handle.

Maria was excellent and very knowlegeable. A very interesting tour! A suggestion for the tour owners to inform attendees prior that you will be entering the Basilica that there are dress restrictions.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Maria was an excellent and knowledgeable guide and that you enjoyed the tour. Regarding the dress code for the Basilica, we do mention it on our website, but we appreciate your suggestion and will consider making it even more visible. We hope you still had the chance to enter and enjoy the visit inside!
