Christ Church

The Cathedral was wonderful! It was very interesting and the audio tour was relevant and interesting. Loved the rubbings and great store down in the crypt.

Beautiful cathedral

This is a beautiful cathedral. We did the audio guide, and it was helpful. It's a little hard to find all the spots inside the church; they kind of jump around. The church is amazing and so are all the artifacts.

Worth the visit

The cathedral is beautiful from floor tiles to ceiling. It is possible to have audio guide. Downstairs is a crypt with a tourist shop and toilet. We were amazed how well preserved the cat and rat are. Too crowdy in the middle of the day, staff friendly.
