He’s knowledgeable about architecture, medieval history, literature, and current events. He uses helpful audiovisual guides, makes jokes, and his tone of voice keeps the audience fully engaged throughout the tour.

Great winter tour!

It was a fantastic tour with a fantastic tour guide! The new, clean Notre Dame was beautiful with light shining through the stained glass windows. Our tour guide was a great teacher with a background in medical history. We can not recommend her more!! She was able to answer all of my daughters and my own historical and silly questions with ease. Thank you so much and please contact us if you see this we would love to tip you as well!
