On time, professional and a good sense of humor. Spoke to us outside the cathedral about its rich history and continued inside the cathedral. Also showed us best spots for photos!

    Sarah was a great tour...

    Steven_G, Sep 2026
    Sarah was a great tour guide. I was very fortunate to tour on a Sunday while a service was in progress. Having the choir sing while you walked around inside was very special. Sarah is very knowledgeable about the history of Notre Dame.

    A Tour of Notre Dame

    John_G, Sep 2026
    He was very nice, very informed. This had nothing to do with the nice guide, but the tour would benefit from ear pieces. Very hard to hear

    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Notre Dame and about its current renovations. She was flexible about our time in the cathedral and gave an excellent tour

    Comprehensive Notre Dame Tour

    Greg_C, Aug 2026
    She was very informative .and took time to answer question before and after our actual tour inside the cathedral.

    A Tour Company You Can Trust

    William_R, Aug 2026
    Unfortunately, we booked this tour not realizing that August 15th was a very important holy day at Notre Dame cathedral. Our tour guide Sara did a good job showing us around the outside of the cathedral and explaining the restoration after the fire. However, due to the immense crowds, we were unable to access the cathedral. The tour company realized the situation and kindly refunded our money. Rest assured, this is a tour company that puts the satisfaction of the customer as its primary concern.

    Fascinating history, stunning sights, skip the line - fabulous tour!

    This tour was an absolute highlight of our multi- country trip. Our tour guide, Ash, was delightful and incredibly knowledgeable about both the history of the cathedral and the renovation following the devastating 2019 fire. The cathedral itself is breathtaking. The insights Ash provided before we went in and the discussion and information after we explored inside were priceless. Amazingly, Ash got us into the cathedral without waiting in line. That was much appreciated on this 99 degree day. Our group gave this four thumbs up.

    Our guide was very kind...

    Debbie_G, Aug 2026
    Our guide was very kind but it was hard for me to understand him with his accent. He spewed a lot of facts from the exterior of Notre Dame and it was information overload… I think if we were able to walk around the exterior, it would’ve been more engaging… Sometimes less is more

    Best Notre Dame Tour !

    MARY_B, Aug 2026
    Our tour guide brought the amazing history of Notre Dame alive with so many details that would have been missed! She was very knowledgeable and made the experience well worth the visit!

    The one on one...

    Sharon_M, Jul 2026
    The one on one interaction gave us a great background on the cathedral and it’s history. Danis was a great tour guide.

    Nice tour with company...

    Anita_L, Jul 2026
    Nice tour with company that cares about its customers. Guide was informative and no waiting to enter.

    In Depth Norte Dame

    Curtis_C, Jul 2026
    Our guide Madeline did a great job explaining the history of Notre Dame Cathedral, the fire, and the rebuilding of this magnificent cathedral. We started the tour on the outside of this ornate cathedral and then entered the interior. After our tour we paid I think 13 Euros to enter the Treasury rooms that contain cathedral gowns, jewels, and cathedral gifts centuries old. We were quite pleased with our tour.

    Notre Dame with family.

    john_s, May 2026
    Daniel was an excellent tour guide. He started by showing us informative pictures and explaining the history of the island and Paris. We then proceeded inside where we he explained the highlights and history of the cathedral. It was busy but he was patient.l with our family. It was beautiful to see and we feel fortunate to have had this opportunity for our family. Thank you Daniel.

    Fabulous guide Tuna thank you! Great tour lots of information. We skipped the queues Tuna helped my wife as she is not good on her feet.

    Tour operator cancelled one hour before start

    Melody_P, Sep 2025
    The tour operator cancelled one hour before the tour was due to start. Then proceeded to imply that it was somehow my fault (?) that I did not receive his email as I was on a Eurostar train from Amsterdam to Paris specifically to see Notre Dame after the restoration from the fire. Very disappointing.
