No queue and interesting guide.
Helen_J
, Aug 2022
Guide was informative and funny. Really well organised and worth not standing in queue in baking sunshine. Shoulders must be covered and legs above knees to go in basilica . I think these should be made clearer in info sent as a priority. It probably is mentioned but since it is make or break for entry it really needs a big highlight. Our guide and group were happy to wait for a lady to buy a scarf from a stall but a bigger group or different guide might not.

OK
Jamie_W
, Jun 2022
The church is beautiful, and very busy. We waited for at least 30-45 minutes for our guide arrive then we waited in another line to get into the church, which for skip the line tickets I'm not sure how much time it really saved us. Then there were enough people in the group (probably about 15) that he was often talking about something that we couldn't see yet. Our guide was also hard to understand with his accent and he spoke softly. We are glad we got to see the church but not sure I would pay for this tour if we went again.

Email said the ticket would show the meeting place. Ticket said “Skip the Line” so we met at the skip the line entrance. Guide was not there. They never contacted us. So we were unable to tour. I requested a refund and they told us we were late which was not true.
