The guide was very informative and the cathedral is very nice. Personally it's more beautiful from outside the inside. We chose the 9:30 tour but be aware the church opens at 10am and we still had to wait on the line. So, we started lining up 9:30 and entered the church around 11:00. So, not sure what the skip the line feature is. Otherwise, it was a nice experience and the painting on the domo is really impressive

Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Tour ended up being an hour and a half. Not upset since we got good value for our money but it did not make much sense that a 30 minute express tour was advertised for 9:30am when they don't even let people into the cathedral until 10:15.

Your took 45 mins to enter into the Cathedral and we had to join the general public line. Tour guide provided good jnformation. The full tour took more than an hour. For this reason I suggest the word ' Express' from the tour title and description.
