My beautiful experience - The tour is very special because as it progresses it slowly and majestically moves you through the centuries, you get to see the beautiful of each structure, of each moment. it is super quiet and very entertaining, you learn and understand new things thanks to Joss who was the one who led the tour, the truth I recommend it too
