    A Noteworthy Tour with Valuable Insights

    This tour was fantastic, with incredible artwork and a highly professional and knowledgeable guide. However, it's worth noting that the Ben Ezra Church is permanently closed, and it would be helpful for tourHQ to update the tour description accordingly. Nevertheless, we visited St. George's Church instead.
