Beautiful Store. - Probably not worth buying through Viator. You can easily acquire tickets (week days for sure) from the store. No need to pay the additonal fees. That being said, the bookstore lives up to the hype. Absolutely stunning inside. Be prepared to be pressed by others as it is a tight fit and bring your patience.
