A Clear and simple online registration procedure . The proposed tour had a shift from the morning to the afternoon motivated on the assumption that access to the cathedral was impossible at the scheduled time due to religious service they had learned about closely. It didn't cause us any problems but I wonder if it is refunded what was paid in case of inability to attend. On the visit, all ok, very good guide, Jesus, nice and gave us lots of directions. Good system with the audio guides we were provided with. More than positive experience.

The ticketing and entry experience was very smooth. We got in immediately and everything was very punctually organized. The tour was simply amazing. The Tour Guide Maria is excellent. Even though it was crowded, she managed to show us the the important parts and emphasize on intricate details with a comprehensive narrative and a humorous touch. She gave us enough relevant information to get us started and then let us explore on our own. Absolutely amazing experience. Very much recommended.

Without a doubt, the guide Isabel was phenomenal! She was cheerful and, as well as talking about the history, she told us curious facts that made a difference to the young people who were there. She talked about details of Spanish history related to her childhood. She lent me her own blouse because I had forgotten to bring a scarf to cover my shoulders. The tour, the ease of getting in without queuing... everything was great. I would definitely buy other experiences with this company.

    The guide was very knowledgeable but I would like a little more silent time to take in the awesomeness and get the feeling of the space and more attention to the paintings because I'm an artist. I thought there was too much talking about the history and how the pillars were made which I had little interest in and it means the experience more intellectual rather than having the feeling of the awesomeness of the space. I regretted taking the tour
