Overall this was a great experience. I was slightly confused because I was under the impression that I booked a self-guided audio tour but when I went to retrieve my tickets we were placed in a group for a guided tour. The app even had us download the audio tour beforehand but our names were on the guides list so we went with it. It ended up being a great tour.

Tickets worked perfectly and the audioguide was a great addition to our visit to the Basilica. However, I don’t understand which “History Gallery” does this activity include.
