Written on Oct 10 2011Although this annual CAF event has been going on for 16 years, this was our first time. We got a late start due to some problem with the buses not arriving on time and so were a bit rushed through each of the five churches, but it was still an amazing fun and educational adventure. The docents were all very well informed, providing tons of information about each church that we saw as well as an overall lesson about the development of church architecture throughout history. Well worth it-we will plan to go again!

Written on Oct 10 2011This is a 5 star event. However, the bus was a half hour late and an additional 10 minutes were wasted as we were stopped and unable to proceed through 100 yards of a long term construction project: another driving route should have been chosen to avoid the construction.
