Our tour guide Mark was very knowledgeble and spoke good English. He explained everything thoroughly and the trip/tour was a delight. We loved everything about it. We got tons of awesome pics (don't know how to send them to you though) and great souveniors. We were able to hear the boys choir sing and what a treat that was. The amount of visitors that are allowed into the church for the choir's performance of two songs was overwhelming. We were like sardines in a can. You must get into the church by about 12:15 for a 1:00 performance or you will be standing and/or squished against alot of other people. It was a wonderful visit to a special place and our guide made it a super trip. Thank you
