You will need to have reasonable French for this, but if you have, it's terrific. Lots of peeks into courtyards of great mansions of the past, lots of architectural details, and an excellent introduction to what must be the oddest hybrid of a cathedral in the world - eccentric, literally, part southern gothic and part northern gothic, on different axes. Two hours of great local knowledge, imparted with clarity and enthusiasm.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your impressions on our city tours !
Best regards.
Not sure what happened with one of the previous reviewers, but the tour was offered in English twice per day when I was there in April. Ticket price 9.5 Euros included admission to one of the churches, which was worth about 5 or 6 Euros. Tour guide was pretty good, but talked quietly and was hard to hear many times during the tour. We had 12 people on the tour, which was not too bad. The total time for the tour was about two hours, which was about right.
Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for your comment.
Best regards
I went on a 2-hour tour of the "unmissables" (Tuesday afternoons at 2.30pm): the Capitol, St-Sernin, the Jacobins, and a Renaissance private residence, for €9. This included entry into the cloister at the Jacobins (usually €4 per person), but all other sites are free anyway.
The tour is only in French. My French is OK, but not great. I was able to understand enough, but if you understand little spoken French (at speed) you'd be better off buying a guide-book and doing the same sites on your own.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your impressions on our city tours.
We took note of your comments regarding the language of the tour.
We propose english tours every Saturday from April to October. We have to study the possibility to organise them on winter time.
Hoping to have the chance to see you again very soon.
Best regards
