Truly spectacular! - I was blown away at how spectacular & well done this light show was. The best part was that all ages in our group felt the same excitement from the experience. Go early to view the fine details of the church before the show

Let there be light ! - This was a stunning light show that brought a unique experience to our group. The relationship between the music, lights and interior space was seamless and the length of show was perfect.

Breathtaking! - When the lights start, they are very subtle, you almost don't notice as you are settling in the enormous cathedral. Before long, they build to an amazing crescendo of light and music. Breathtaking!

Don’t hesitate- take it! - The guided tour on the boat was very informative and the views of the city from the water were wonderful. The AURA was very enthralling and left us with much to talk about regarding our personal interpretations. Well worth it!

Beautiful way to see the Basilica - It was a fantastic light show. Really highlighted the interior beauty and statues. So much more beautiful at night than during the day. It was only about 30 minutes long so that was my only negative. I expected a longer show.

Not my favorite - Some of my family enjoyed the cruise but I did not. The walking tour orients u to the area and its history. So I thought it redundant( goes past a lot of industrial areas). But the staff was lovely. AURA- if u love light shows( as I do) u will love it. However the basilica itself is amazingly beautiful with no light show!

Disappointed - We originally booked this tour to experience the Aura light show at Notre Dame on a Saturday. The tour operator changed the date to Sunday without previously advising us. We already had a tour booked for Sunday so had to scramble and change that tour to Saturday

Worth the trip but check meeting place thoroughly - Directions showed meeting at Notre Dame Cathedral were wrong. You had to view your ticket and find the right place to see you started at the cruise terminal several block from the Cathedral. Texting support did not work. As we got to the cruise terminal as they were pulling up the ramp. We were very fortunate to have the cruise crew allow us to board by lowering the ramp. Good job by them. Cruise was OK if you were sitting on the right side of the boat (we were not). Still enjoyable by person giving out the information on sites. Aura was Great.
