Never found the guide. Very disorganized . The inside people were no help. I just went alone and wasted a huge amount of money. No one could help . The guide wasn’t outside 10 minutes before. I found I paid $67 and others w me paid $11! I felt scammed.

Seeing La Sainte Chapelle was one of the highlights of our time in Europe. We were the only ones on our tour, but our guide, Cinthia, treated us to her full narrative of the history of the chapel and of France during that period. She showed me the app that she used to explain the significance of the stained glass panels, and I've since downloaded it. She made the tour so much more interesting than if we had just bought tickets and gone in on our own!

Our guide was very knowledgeable. The only thing that would have made our trip better was that she was on time. She showed up at the last possible minute. We were in the cue ready to go in without her.

Horrible communication, very poor skills and connecting with guests. I suggest you do not take the risk. Even the ticket office suggested folks have been scammed on this one several times and we were too’

Our tour guide was wonderful. She stayed in the line for us and was there to hold the line as I was a couple minutes behind her. She spent a great hour explaining the church to us. It was a great experience and appreciated her meeting us on a Sunday.

This included a guided tour for just under an hour. We weren’t clear on that from the title but it was great! Tons of info and a beautiful church with a very interesting background. Tour guide was knowledgeable and very efficient.

This was one of the highlights of our Paris trip in which we’ve experienced the top attractions: went to the summit of the Eiffel Tower; visited the Louvre; toured Versailles; saw Note Dame and had an evening dinner cruise on the Louvre.
The visit would babe been incomplete if we hadn’t visited Sainte Chapelle and seen those stunning stained glass windows. That visit wouldn’t have been the same without out tour guide, Cinthia, whose expert guidance put into historical context the amazing visuals inside the Sainte Chapelle. Cinthia shared with us the story tying Chapelle into the overall history of France and she pointed out the individual panels we all would easily recognize from the Old Testament. That type of context and individual direction only can come from an experienced tour guide like Cinthia. My wife and I were both throughly pleased by the experience of this tour. Highly recommended.
