Great Tour - Basilica of St John Lateran - Wen did a wonderful job explaining the tenets of our Christian faith and then thoughtfully related all the spiritual and secular history contained in St John Lateran Basilica to those tenets. We thoroughly enjoyed the depth of her understanding and faith. We highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend, great guide! - Wen was an excellent guide, providing so much information about the history of the Basilica. Would have appreciated the beauty, but would not have understood the significance of many items inside without Wen’s knowledge. Holy stairs were very moving. This was a great tour, learned so much.

Great guide, very informative. - Wen was great as a guide . Very knowledgeable, informative, patient and accommodating. We scheduled for 11am, but my daughter's plane was delayed, and she rescheduled for 1pm. She was at the meeting point punctually, and accommodated everyone's needs, answered questions accurately, and was an encyclopedia of information. Great job Wen.

Knowledgeable but no time for memories - Wen was very knowledgeable about the basillica and the Christian history shown in the art. Her reference to scripture was exce. Very little time was given to see the basilica or take pictures with the comment that we could come back. Ensure you have time afterwards to come back in.
