Highly Recommend...Cynthia was GREAT!! - Our guide, Cynthia, was so kind and personable. She was an excellent story teller and very knowledgeable. We met up on time and we were actually the first to walk in! I highly recommend the early AM entry time for this reason. It was SO gorgeous and we were in there all alone. It was silent and so beautiful. (& we got some great pictures with no people in them!) Worth the"skip-the-line" extra $ as well. Loved the tour!

Heaven on Earth - Our tour guide had great knowledge of the architecture and helped us to understand how the building design enabled so much light and so many windows in the chapel. She also helped us to understand the significance of the stained glass windows. Finally, she taught us about Saint Louis and helped us to better understand the history of the monarchy in France.

Great experience - Our guide was great! She made it interesting and her English was easy to understand. We've had other tours where the guides' English was a bit difficult to understand but not in this case!

Windiws of Heaven - The great knowledge and expertise of our guide, Cynthia. She brought the windows to life and was sensitive to the religious experience that enabled such a masterpiece to be built.

Unprofessional conduct - they canceled the tour and never told us so we went there and stood around waiting luckily we were able to get in the public line and still see it ourselves, but that’s very unprofessional

Wanted me to pay AGAIN to reschedule due to a health issue. - We did not get to see St. Chapelle. I had a medical issue on the day of the tour and couldn’t attend. Viator found another time and day, BUT told me I would need to pay again. I understand that you should not be refunded a ticket for some thing within 48 hours, however, when you can reschedule, the next day, you shouldn’t be required to pay for the tour again
