What to expect
You'll meet your guide early and enter the basilica while it's still relatively quiet. Expect a methodical walkthrough of the main floor, with your guide pointing out proportions, biblical references, and design choices embedded in every surface. The stained glass creates distinct pools of coloured light depending on time and weather—worth pausing to notice. Allow time to absorb rather than photograph everything. The guide speaks your language and tailors pace to your group's interests.
