The guide we had was super nice, he had a very good level. We visited the cathedral, the chapel for almost 3 hours, he had photos, montages and super interesting explanations and the truth is that it is well worth the money invested because it was a wonderful experience.

The cathedral was very impressive, but we first ended up at two wrong entrances, 1. the chapel? and 2. the church, where a mass was taking place.
