Audio tour definitely enhanced my experience. I looked at things I would not have seen. Presentation and organization were clear, pictures helped identify locations, could stop and start at will. Good job
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. This is exactly what we built Tourific for, glad the audio brought the city to life. See you on the next Tourific walk soon.
Worked out great and was explained clearly with the audio guide
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Ihnen der Audioguide gefallen hat.
Wonderful opportunity to explore the destination at your own pace.
Vielen Dank für Ihr schönes Feedback. Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Tour in Ihrem eigenen Tempo genießen konnten.
Very easy to use and great detail. Nice to wqalk around and not feel like a large group talking. All over headphones so a better experience
Thank you for the kind feedback. We're delighted you had an enjoyable experience and could explore comfortably at your own pace.
The tour spent 80 percent of its time outside the cathedral before it took you inside. It was not well cued so you knew what you were supposed to be looking at. It was hard to follow and not good. This cathedral should develop its own audio guide. They are missing an opportunity.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration. We are processing a full refund for your booking. We take all feedback seriously and it truly helps us improve. On the balance between the exterior and interior: the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Chartres has over 2,000 sculpted figures on its façades, making the outside one of the richest storytelling environments of any cathedral in the world. We made a deliberate editorial choice to dedicate more time to this, and we hear you that the transition inside felt abrupt. Our team is reviewing how to better signal that balance upfront so visitors can set their expectations. On navigation cues: because GPS signals cannot function reliably inside a cathedral, we provide visual cues through images of each stop location within the app. We are looking into why this did not work as expected for you, and we want to make sure it is seamless for every visitor. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to welcome you back on a future tour. thanks Tourific Team
Very interesting and well presented. Thank you.
Merci beaucoup ! Ravi que la visite vous ait plu
It was extremely easy to use, inexpensive, and very informative. An additional perk was not being tied to a timeline. We could do the tour whenever we pleased.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the experience and the flexibility it offers.
The tour was very clear and easy to follow. Learned a lot but followed the big picture, so the tour didn't go into too much detail.
Dank je wel! Fijn om te horen dat de tour duidelijk en prettig te volgen was.
It's a pretty good tour of the Cathedral, though as others say, it's confusing to find your way around. The map didn't pinpoint all of the points of interest and the speaker didn't give any detailed orientation directions, just telling you to look at the pictures. The AI voice was really, really annoying and caused us quite a few eyerolls as it mispronunced many words and 'spoke' in an unnatural cadance. It irritated us to support a tour that had been sloppily translated and read by AI so that the tour operators could save money, but at least we didn't pay much for this. Just buy one tour for 2 people and share your headphones. Also, what helped the most was that we had already walked through the Cathedral using Rick Steves guidebook, which had already pointed out the key points of interest, so we could anticipate where this AI tour wanted us to look. The audioguide was still a good supplement, however, because it gave additional information, but glad I had done Rick Steve's better written and explained overview of the site first.
Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We’re glad you still found the tour a useful supplement and informative overall, but we’re sorry to hear about the issues with navigation and the audio experience. Your comments about map clarity, orientation guidance, and voice quality are very valuable, and we’ll take them into account as we work to improve the experience.
We visited the cathedral early on a Sunday morning. No guided tours were available for the only time we had. We arrived at the beginning of an early mass. We were able to see the cathedral in full operation. After the mass we were able to walk through the cathedral and view the classical architecture and the beautiful windows. Well worth the visit.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Being able to see the cathedral during mass and then explore it afterward. We’re glad you found it worthwhile.
