Excellent guide with really good information! We appreciated the details of the history and the place.
Thanks so much for the positive review
Very well organized and informative!!! We would take the tour again with this guide. She told us a a lot about the history of St. Chapelle.
Thanks so much for your positive review.
Very knowledgeable guide. Loved hearing about the history. Highly recommend. It is also nice not to wait in a long line and go in with a small group.
We are very happy to read you enjoyed the small group tour with one of our professional guides. Thanks
* It was expensive but worthy since it had a small group and the guide was good. She gave us a lot of interesting information. Later I found out that most of the informations are in the small panel with each site but it’s more fun and much more learning with someone. She has a teacher’s spirit so you've got to be a good student.
Thanks for sharing with others your positive experience. Don't forget the price you pay includes 26% goes to viator, 22 euros entrance ticket, around 30 euros group reservation to skip the line, guide tour services and agency booking services without mentioning two taxes agencies and tour guides must paid. That's why the tour is within a group of no more than 8/10 participants.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. She took her time explaining things and using pix on her iPad. Highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing your experience

Cynthia, our guide, was very knowledgeable, charismatic and engaging. She was very thorough. My husband and I were captivated. It was our last tour in Paris, close to our hotel, as well as a beautiful venue.
We are to read you had a good time.
Read the directions. Look AND WAIT for guide with yellow bag. We had two people that entered without the guide and were upset — that’s on them Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The chapel is extraordinary— not to be missed. A+++ for guide
Thanks for your positive review and for suggesting others to read directions before coming.
