Is this the right tour for you?
Why choose it
Choose it for a longer standard group route and a staffed meeting point with drinks, Wi-Fi and restrooms.
What to weigh up
The source conflicts on the Basilica portion: its description promises guiding inside, while the detailed itinerary says independent exploration. Confirm which service applies to your departure.
