Fantastic. We booked at the last minute on Headout since it was no longer possible to book on the official website. Same price. Don't forget to bring a hair tie for the girls and flip-flops—both are required. Great day.

Very enjoyable tour. Fanni, our guide, was very knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for both the history and art of the Basilica. She taught us about all the symbolic meanings within both the architecture and art in great detail which I really appreciateed. Was truly a worthwhile experience that I would recommend to everyone.

We loved the old baths, the first ones you come to on the first floor. We spent most of our time there. The panoramic pool on the top floor was also marvellous. Totally reccomend a visit to these baths.
