    A quiet beautiful gem!
    Allison_S, Oct 2023
    We loved our guide for our San Clemente! The mosaic work in the basilica was stunning. The history of the underground structure is so well preserved. We would highly recommend this tour.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed this experience with us :)
    No clapping please!

    The museum and crypt were outstanding as well as the Gregorian cha t concert. I only wish that they had instructed the audience not to clap after each chant- it was very disruptive and spoiled the sacred mood of the chants. Save applause until it is over.
