Guide was great, especially since we were late because our vouchers had an incorrect start time. He did not give us any trouble at all. More time in the crypt would be appreciated.. there is so much to see! Concert was very good. The vocalists were trained professionals and met with our group after. Added bonus, indoors in air conditioning!”
