Amazing Pope Francis Tour

Reviews

As the only individual on this tour, Rocio responded as if she had a group. During the two hour presentation, she constantly shared information and responded to all of my questions. She allowed me time to take photos along the way - all I needed was a minute - and she added comments of how some of the institutions visited since Pope Francis left operate today. Along the way she shared her personal thoughts on the impact Pope Francis has on all. I would highly recommend Rocio as to me she made this tour.

Excellent Pope Francis Tour

Reviews

Really interesting! Not only did we get to learn a lot of the Popes Francis early life, but we also got to know many different places in BA: it was really great going to non touristic places, such as the neighborhood where he was born and raised, his kindergarden and primary school, or the little soccer field where he used to play ! Dont miss this tour if you are in BA!!!
