5.00The tower stairs, when coming down, are very narrow and you might want your phone flashlight. I enjoyed this tour very much.

1.00We went to meet at the pick up point and the traffic was really bad. We messaged the tour company 10-15 minutes prior to the pick up time that we would be there about 5 minutes late. No response. We tried again 8 minutes after and still no reponse. Now they are saying that actually called my number directly instead of using WhatsApp which all the tour companies do. Ours was a ticket and tour and they would not leave us our tickets at the gate or compensate us anything at all for the entire tour. We were 8 people at approximately $1300 Canadian. Very poor customer service. We booked 6 other tours through Viator on our trip abroad and all used WhatsApp and reached out to us prior to the trip compensing. BE VERY CAREFUL, show up very early!
Birthday treat.

4.00The guide was very good but because of all the noise outside the cathedral it was difficult to hear what she was saying until we got the audio devices so ok after that.. The tower option was good but only if you are fit to walk back down 100s of stairs and not much room.
Ok Tour

2.00Lots of waiting before the tour actually starts. The tour guide provided lots of minor facts but not particularly interesting. The church is stunning and it's worth going to the towers. Skip the guided tour.
Stunning, breathtaking!
