    The guide was really knowledgeable and I am convinced she's earned her fees. But unfortunately for clarity, it was not a skip-the-line ticket. There's no ticket needed or fee to enter the cathedral. You just line up early before they open. Had I known there's no entrance and booking needed, I would've just gone by myself and did my own search. I didn't think spending on the experience was necessary.
