“It felt a bit chaotic at the meeting location, lines started forming behind each of the guides and I ended up cutting in front of someone, which angered someone else waiting in a different line. When we did check-in the guide was very nice and helpful. I think the checkin situation could’ve been structured better, but the overall experience was good, and the basilica was incredible.”
