Superb - We were on 8/8/25 with Damani, when hiring I thought it would have been better in Spanish, but just after starting Damani talking I knew I was in the right place. Not only were their explanations accurate and interesting, but the way they were conveyed with the icing of the gospel Mass made the visit an unforgettable memory. Recommended 100%

Not the best experience - It was not the best experience, because the Gospel Choir, did not exist, it was only three people who sang, and not in the best way, the excuse was that they were on vacation, because they should solve it better!

Disappointing - Our guide was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. But the tour itself was disappointing. We frequently stopped at churches but never entered one, the stories - however told with enthousiasm - were too much in-depth for the average tourist. And we ended up in a catholic church where you expect to visit a baptist church.
