I was promptly greeted and the tour began. It was engaging and conversational. I was allowed to ask, as well as comment. I appreciated the pivot to other landmarks due to the Catholic Church closure. I also appreciated the suggestions for places to eat, other landmarks to visit and weekly activities. During the summer, bug spray is a must!
