The QR code issued on the email didn’t work for us even after we downloaded the Vox city app. We thought to get the physical audio guide instead. Go the the 2nd gate of the Basilica(right before the entrance into Basilica) and you can either get the Audi guide or the staff will give you another QR code to scan. The staff is really not friendly and impatient. Other than this, all else is great.
