Venimos de España🇪🇸, los grupos son guiados y por idioma. Nosotros fuimos un 14 de febrero y en el grupo fuimos solo 3 personas. Nuestro guía muy majo, agradable y sabio. Es una buena actividad si te gusta la historia y quieres descansar un poco de la ciudad como tal. Dentro no se pueden realizar fotos.
Es un lugar histórico maravilloso. Invita a la fé, a la contemplación y a la oración. El recorrido es con un guía según el idioma y dura 30 minutos aproximadamente. Conviene abrigarse un poco, porque se enfría el ambiente en la medida en que se desciende.
Super informal este lugar. Habíamos comprado unas entradas para ir a visitarlo por la tarde y resulta que cuando llegamos allí habían anulado las visitas. Encima nos hicieron luz de gas como que ellos no tenían visitas a esa hora. Lo peor es que ni se preocuparon del asunto poniéndose en contacto con la empresa que lo vendió y echándonos maleducadamente.
