Wonderful show - Unbelievable I’ve done this twice this year so far. Went with my cousin came back with my life. It’s just an amazing show. In combo with the boat tour it’s a great afternoon.

Overwhelming Beauty - The cruise was also great, with nice surroundings and, for an extra fee, cocktails. The Aura only allows you to take photos before and after, but it really is awesome. I recommend it.

A great experience! - This is an excellent light & sound show in the magnificent Notre Dame Basilica, Montreal . It gets very crowded so start lining up an hour before the show as it is very hard to find seats together . The lighting was fabulous and the music that accompanied it excellent. You have to visit when in Montreal!

Great combination to see Montréal. - The boat tour was a perfect summer afternoon—beautiful skyline and river views. Aura at the Notre-Dame Basilica was a stunning and unique way to experience its architecture. Together, they made a great combo for seeing key sights in Montreal.

Poorly Managed - You get to wait outside in a long line and sit on a rock hard pew for 40 minutes before the 20 minute light show starts. You get little benefit of the churches magnificent organ. Frankly, I would rather be able to view the interior of the church without the light show.

Okay - The cruise was okay, the guide was great. However they don't tell you that the Aura show can be sold-out and your ticket is only good when they have room. The basilica sells their own tickets, so you may have to go the next day.

Basilica Aura Light Show - consider skipping - Definitely not worth the time or money for light show but worth the visit to the Basilica. At least the money is going to the restoration. The light show was underwhelming. Says the show lasts over an hour but that includes going 30 minutes early (when doors open) show started at 8:10 and was over in less than 20 minutes.
