Russ_F, Dec 2025
We (5 of us) were standing approximately 20 yards from cathedral entrance at the address on the site. Don’t understand why the tour leader did not come to see if we were the missing 5. So no tour for us. Very disappointed. Yes we were at the door like we were supposed to but it is miss leading. Why would you put the address but not check to see if any of your missing people are there. 20 yards away!
