Is this the right tour for you?
Why choose it
Choose this when you want guided museum context followed by independent Basilica time.
What to weigh up
The Basilica is not guided inside, and extraordinary venue closures may change the route without a refund. The product’s twenty-person group is a standard shared visit rather than a twelve-person small-group format.
