Excellent guided tour with Christopher Kelly
184manuelak, Dec 2024
We were deeply impressed by the wonderful Basilica of Vézelay. We enjoyed an excellent tour with the guide Christopher Kelly that also included the Vezelay Museum. Christopher Kelly is an extremely knowledgeable and nice guide. He explained not only the building history, and the multi-layered symbols, myths and unique light effects in the basilica of Vézelay, but he also brought us closer to the mindset of pilgrims and the church in general in the early Middle Ages when Vezelay was built. We could not believe how quickly the time of the guided visit went by.
guided tour of high quality!

Very nice experience as this guided tour of the basilica, indispensable to clearly define it. Raphael knows his subject perfectly, involves visitors and brings real meaning to this visit. It ends in the premises of the visitor's house with a beautiful model of the basilica and a very interesting light approach. Congratulations to the team!
Didn't get what we expected..

We had booked and paid for an English tour a few days before. On the spot, however, it turned out that there was only a French tour. Too bad!
Temps suspendu dans la Basilique de Vezelay

La qualité de la visite par un guide remarquable d'érudition, était exceptionnelle
J'étais accompagnée de mes petits fils (7ans et 11 ans) qui ont été fascinés par les explications sur la construction de la Basilique, l'utilisation de la lumière du soleil, les techniques de mesure etc...
le guide adaptant en permanence les informations transmises, à leur niveau.
Interessanter Ansatz - Tour aber nur auf Französisch und ohne inkludiertem Besuch der Basilika
Sven_K, Dec 2024
Die Tour wurde nur auf Französisch angeboten, obwohl ich sie in englischer Sprache gebucht hatte. Zum Glück sprach die Führerin langsam, sodass ich folgen konnte. Inbegriffen war nur eine kurze Erläuterung zu der Bauweise und Architektur der Basilika an einem Modell; der Besuch der Basilika kostete noch einmal extra, was mir bei der Buchung nicht klar war. Der kunstinterpretatorische Ansatz war zwar insgesamt interessant, wurde mit der Zeit aber ein bisschen langatmig. Um die Basilika besser verstehen zu können, hätte ich mir auch ein paar Hintergrundinformationen zur Erbauung und involvierter Persönlichkeiten erhofft.
