Very interesting and intriguing visit. Sound guide was excellent and well presented. The crypt was very fascinating and it was amazing to see the arrangements crafted using the various bones of the skeleton. A place not to miss that takes just an hour to experience.

Krypt tour was nice but the provider had forgotten to send an employee to the church, who could exchange our tickets for those to be used. You have to have what’s app, as the communication by email did not work, so I recommend the trip but not the provider.
Thank you for your review. We're sorry you experienced any issues, but fortunately, our staff promptly resolved them. It's normal for you to receive a voucher from the platform that must be exchanged for a direct ticket, and our staff promptly provided you with your reserved access ticket. We hope to welcome you back soon for another experience!
We are so glad we did this tour. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but the sheer artistry of the bones and skeletons was amazing.
Thank you for your kind words. We're glad you enjoyed the experience and hope to welcome you back soon!
Good exhibition but no display in French that would increase the understanding of the objects presented
