4.00Interesting tour, technically very good. Only the Anglo-American accent of the speaker was distracting.
Very impressive and great value.

5.00A brilliant way to hear about the main things to see in the cathedral without wandering around aimlessly or being chained to a tour guide. The information was impressive and well- judged. It was fascinating to have the bas-reliefs and stained glass windows explained to us instead of just looking at them.

4.00Too bad that the locations on the cathedral drawing (in the app) are not interactive because it would allow you to find yourself more quickly in the cathedral

4.00A very informative visit in complete freedom that allows to carry out it at his own pace. As far as I'm concerned I quickly went over the description of the stained glass windows because at the end of the afternoon they are no longer seen because lack of light.
