Awesome way to skip all the lines. This ended up being a private tour for my husband and I. The lovely guide escorted us across the road and past all the queues. Once inside he spent 15 minutes explaining the history and features of the Basilica before leaving us to explore it at our leisure.
Great tour where the guide helpfully explained all the relevant details and answers all questions before leaving us to wander around at our own leisure.
An amazing place to visit! The lighting effects are brilliant. After some minor confusion about the meeting point (mine 🙄) we quickly reached the entrance and were admitted straight away. Our guide was knowledgeable and attentive. We really enjoyed our visit and got some fantastic photos. I recommend booking an early entry time as the place quickly gets busy.
We have been forgotten at the meeting point and had to waste 1 hour and 15 minutes waiting 😞 Could have gone on our own !
The "Cistern" is a truly amazing bit of Roman architecture and it is astonishing that it has survived and been successfully maintained. Well worth a look.
