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!

This small chapel is definitely worth the visit. Our guide, Cynthia, was knowledgeable about the history of Sainte Chapelle. It is not very big so the tour is not too long. It has a rich history and is adjacent to Notre Dame.

Queuing for security check still took a while even though it 's skip the line !! But queuing for using bathrooms IN SUCH A SAD STATE was truly disappointing!

St. Chapelle is a stunning masterpiece, but it was even better to have a knowledgeable guide to tell us stories of the church and point out numerous details I had missed before. Cinthia was incredible! As an added bonus we were the first in the door and were able to enter before the queue.
