Very informative cathedral tour - Experience was great. The guide is very informative.. in fact so much information that I had trouble remembering it all. History of James as well as the evolution of the cathedral itself. One downside to be aware of. I wasn’t able to book the optional visit to the portico. I didn’t know why, and during the tour the guide explained that the number of people for that is limited and obviously I signed up after all those places were gone. It would’ve been nice to understand that because then I might have selected a different timeslot before completing the transaction.

One of the best European tours I have done - Carolina was an excellent guide and had a fantastic exaltation of so many things… history overall (the area) as well as the cathedral and even some great stories and gossip. It made it really memorable. I was surprised at the amount of things we saw and learned
