Lailabella day tour of the churches

Robert_M, Oct 2022
I was really lucky to have Joseph all to myself before the tourist rush comes again . His knowledge, explanations, kindness and generosity is second to none which I am eternally grateful for. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of doing this tour as a solo traveller or in a group ( he seems the sort who can tend to many people all at once too) . He never rushed me, offered and suggested the best places to take photos which is important for a solo traveller and we spent a good while inside the churches too taking in the different services. Everything was perfect and I hope we can cross paths again one day
