We loved the cathedral tour and our guide Phil was very entertaining and informative. We didn’t have young kids but he would captivate them with his stories and knowledge. Highly recommend and coffee and carrot cake was a winner too The music was captivating. I’d go again just to hear that.
It was worth the money and visit
