Great purchase, complete and interactive
Grazie per il vostro feedback. Siamo felici che abbiate apprezzato l’esperienza.
The audio tour was great. Inexpensive, able to listen at our own pace. Great details of the cathedral. Loved the pictures and the map
Thank you for the kind feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the experience and found it a valuable addition to your visit.
Very art-historic! I would have preferred more everyday stories instead of religious ones.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Ihr Hinweis ist sehr wertvoll und hilft uns, die Inhalte künftig noch abwechslungsreicher zu gestalten.
We didn’t have chance to go in because they had mass so just listen and look pictures on the phone .
Hello, Thank you so much for your feedback. We apologise for the issue and we are processing a full refund for your booking. Our team is also changing the visiting hours in the listing so the future travellers do not face this issue. thanks Tourific
Lots of information about the inside of the church and things on display. Not much history of the building the church. We enjoyed the tour and each person could listen at their own pace.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the flexibility. We appreciate your comment about the church. Hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Very user-friendly program, absolutely easy to use. Thanks to the creators! On the tour: beautiful comments in Russian! Very interesting and informative. Definitely recommended.
Спасибо большое! Рады, что вам понравились экскурсия и комментарии на русском языке. Благодарим за рекомендацию и надеемся увидеть вас на другом туре!
Language problem in the application of the visit. Check the proposed language as soon as possible. Very good service responsiveness to answer and find a solution to my problem.
Take the tour during daylight hours to see the stained glass windows and visit all of the stops. Later in day various parts of cathedral are closed and the daylight us needed to appreciate the stained glass.
Thank you for sharing this! We're glad the tour was helpful, and your tip about visiting earlier in the day is great advice. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon!
We were unable to access the tour guide. We got much more out of it by touring the church independently.
Hello, we are sorry to hear that you were unable to access the tour. We have processed a full refund for the booking amount. The issue arises at time due to the firewall setting of the hotels. Our technical team is actively working to rectify this issue. Thanks Tourific Team.
Scamed. The e trance is free only the tower is paid. The ticket it gives the impression that is for a different thing and area of the cathedral . The description is ambiguous
Hello, we are sorry to hear that you felt that entrance was paid. We have update the description to state that the entrance to the cathedral is free. Also the title of the tour states that it is a audio guide for the cathedral but we are working to make it more clear. thanks
