Traveler reviews
Unique and wonderful tour
I cannot even begin to express how much I Ioved this tour. If you enjoy unique experiences this is for you. The places our guide took us to were inspirational. Our guide did a wonderful job of telling us stories and explaining what we were seeing. Seeing pieces from the crucifixion was humbling and beautiful. The churches were simply amazing and are a must see. Do not skip this tour. It has been one of the highlights of my trip and a truly spiritual experience as well.
Great connection to the history
Excellent tour. Helped me understand what the different pieces and works symbolize and how it comes together.
Great experience!
Mario was a wonderful guide ❤️ we had a really lovely time. We did back track in order to see more of some of the sites.
Underground churches
Our guide was so knowledgable! She was kind and personable, too.
Daniel was very...
Daniel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. We enjoyed his explanations, education and humor! We weren't able to see some of the relics through no fault of his, but he did bring up pictures to show us which was helpful as well. All seven of us thoroughly enjoyed his tour.
