Per one customer who booked the Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie Guided Tour with Ticket in Paris, "What a wonderful 3 hours spent in Paris! I had, for years, wanted to see Saint-Chapelle, and to do so with the energetic, charming, and knowledgeable Merve was such a treat. She was an excellent tour guide—personable and knowledgeable, and I was not only impressed but grateful. I've had some tours—admittedly, fortunately only a few—where it really felt like the person was going through the motions. That was not the case here at all—it felt like Merve was as excited and delighted to be doing the tour as she must have been on her first one 10 years ago. A real joy!"
