Our hosts were super informative and gave us the opportunity to view several areas of the Cathedral, including the various belfries. They were able to answer all of our questions and were flexible with our schedule and even recommended a really great place for lunch afterward. Informative, pleasant, and even occasionally entertaining tour overall!

This was a wonderful tour, my tour guide, offered extra sites to see that we’re a little further out of the old town. He was very informative and did a great job.
