Great Cathedral area tour! - We had a wonderful guide! We ended up being the only couple signed up for this day/time, so it was essentially a private tour. Our guide walked us through through the streets near the Cathedral and gave us so much info/history! Once at the cathedral she pointed out specifics of the architecture and even took our picture. Highly recommend this experience!
