The professionalism of the guide Laura, who provided us with all the information and history of the Holy Shroud. 3 hours of intense and joyful guidance with a lot of quality, knowledge, efficiency, cordiality, and really transmitting to us the experience that we would have liked to have. Exceeded all expectations. Congratulations on having the Laura tab on your boards. Thank you from the heart Laura for the experience and for everything. Gratitude.

Fabulous personal tour with our guide Carla. She was extremely friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about absolutely everthing to do with the Holy Shroud. The tour was very interesting and Carla explained more history of the City as we walked from the Chapel to the Museum and back. Worth every penny! 5 stars from us.
