Breathtaking! - When the lights start, they are very subtle, you almost don't notice as you are settling in the enormous cathedral. Before long, they build to an amazing crescendo of light and music. Breathtaking!

Don’t hesitate- take it! - The guided tour on the boat was very informative and the views of the city from the water were wonderful. The AURA was very enthralling and left us with much to talk about regarding our personal interpretations. Well worth it!

Unique experience - Everything was terrific except they moved the showtime to 7pm without telling us. We arrived at 5:45pm for what was supposed to be a 6pm show. We were inconvenienced, but the show was unique and spectacular.

A Night @ Notre-Dame Basilica - This ethereal experience is like no other; this stunning performance of lights was breathtaking, beautiful, and literally took your breath away! I know, I know, you're like, "Really, it's just LIGHTS!" but the ambience, sound & lighting effects provided a 30 minute dream of wonder. The bonus? Getting to explore La Basilica, in the mystery of the darkness that comes with the night, to then walk out to the Place d' Armes to music & dancing!

Loved it !!!!! - Amazing cathedral and light show. We really enjoyed this and highly recommend it. The cathedral was packed, and we recommend getting there early and sitting in the middle section towards the back for the best viewing.

Beautiful way to see the Basilica - It was a fantastic light show. Really highlighted the interior beauty and statues. So much more beautiful at night than during the day. It was only about 30 minutes long so that was my only negative. I expected a longer show.

Not my favorite - Some of my family enjoyed the cruise but I did not. The walking tour orients u to the area and its history. So I thought it redundant( goes past a lot of industrial areas). But the staff was lovely. AURA- if u love light shows( as I do) u will love it. However the basilica itself is amazingly beautiful with no light show!

Worth it. - The light show is well worth the extra visit. You do not get a chance to walk around the basilica so you will need to make a second trip. If you are into light shows, a theater buff, or just like technology this was cool. Lights are shown on ceiling and across altar while music plays as you sit in the dark. Don't think young children would enjoy it.

Worth the trip but check meeting place thoroughly - Directions showed meeting at Notre Dame Cathedral were wrong. You had to view your ticket and find the right place to see you started at the cruise terminal several block from the Cathedral. Texting support did not work. As we got to the cruise terminal as they were pulling up the ramp. We were very fortunate to have the cruise crew allow us to board by lowering the ramp. Good job by them. Cruise was OK if you were sitting on the right side of the boat (we were not). Still enjoyable by person giving out the information on sites. Aura was Great.

Disappointed does not justify the Award!! - We stayed on our end!!!! Children ( big 20 and 28 )not included either 🫣🤔. Does not justify the Award.... In addition we were put at the bottom with the drumsticks we saw nothing because the lights are only in front..
