Heartfelt congratulations to whoever created and authorized the audio guide: it is exhaustive, clear, captivating: excellent, I would say, and easy to use. It made the visit to Santa Croce truly pleasant and “productive”. Very positive review for the entire organization and for those in charge of the whole thing. Highly recommended visit. And audio guide NOT to be missed.

The basilica is gorgeous and stirring and seeing the historical art and resting places is unforgettable. I would recommend a guide or at least an audio guide to help and depth because there is a lot of history in there that seems to go a little u said without one.

Well worth the visit. The price was not that extremely high for the skip the line ticket. The voucher is valid for 24 hrs and we were allowed to enter after the timeslot selected. The app worked well. The Basilica is a Florentine marvel and a must see.
