Maurizio from Napoleon tours was a fantastic tour guide. He was wonderfully informative with entertaining stories throughout.
He's quite a showman. I'd book him for any tour in France!

The tour was fantastic! Ste Chapelle is so beautiful and La Conciergerie so interesting! Our guide was both knowledgeable and entertaining, and very considerate of our need to tour at a slower pace. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

Skip the line and learn the history of saint Chappelle and the Conciergerie. It was so interesting and so entertaining. Highly recommend

Our tour guide, Mauricio, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and was able to point out small details that we would have never seen. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Excellent tour! Our guide met us right on time and gave us historical information on Sainte-Chappelle and the Conciergerie, as well as Île-de-la-cité. Then we walked over and skipped the long line to visit the sites. It was a bright sunny day, and the sunshine through the stained glass windows was beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and had a fun sense of humor. So glad we found the time for this tour. It was at the top of most everything we saw.

A nice supplement to a separate tour of Notre Dame. It explains a lot about Notre Dame and its origin.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Maurizio was our guide and he was entertaining, informing and really charismatic. We were a few minutes late and he was extremely understanding and helpful. I would recommend this tour and especially our guide!

Amazing tour guide! Learned so much! He was very helpful with wheelchair. The way he narrated the history was story like.
Roy_A, Apr 2024
Maurizio, our very knowledgeable guide, was such a fun storyteller. He knew every detail of Notre Dame and the stained glasses of Sainte-Chapelle. So much history in these landmarks and we've gained a lot of insights during our short visit. Kudos to Maurizio!
Pamela_P, Jan 2024
We expected a small tour but it was just two of us!
Maurizio, our guide, explained that they wanted to keep things intimate.
The tour was LOVELY, Maurizio was incredibly knowledgeable of the history and happenings of the places we visited and was very funny and entertaining. 2 hours went by without is even noticing!
We will definitely be looking for Maurizio again the next time we are in town!

Communication was very poor- delayed response to queries. It was pouring with rain and had no contact detail for your guide.
Susana_S, Sep 2023
The guide was very passionate about the art and the history behind the construction of these two churches. Unfortunately, the reconstruction of Notre Dame doesn’t allow you to see the site closer.
Donna_D, Aug 2023
The guide was knowledgeable and engaging and really helped us understand the history behind what we were seeing! I cannot recommend them enough!
Anjali_B, Apr 2023

Great tour guide. I never thought standing next to Norte Dame could be so informative and interesting.

Maurizo from Napoleonetour was very informative and friendly. His was narrating the history was funny and logical. He is an excellent source .
Michelle_B, Jan 2022
We were traveling during COVID with a group of 20 students. Mauritzio was incredible and did a fantastic job. He entertained 20 teenagers and kept them engaged for 2 hours. Very impressed and would definitely book again.
Ben_I, Sep 2021
Best tour we have ever taken! Maurizio was incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and generous with his time and energy. He was also very knowledgeable and easy to engage.. We definitely plan to arrange more tours with Maurizio in the future. A thousand thanks!

Fabulous private tour with Bonaparte Tours. Maurizio was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He told us memorable anecdotes and brought history alive. He also added a unexpectedstint into the Conciergerie. Bonaparte tours have been amazing.
Cindy_J, Feb 2020
I highly recommend the guided tour. Our guide brought to life the rich history of Notre Dame and Sainte-Chapelle. His enthusiasm was contagious.
Dennis_P, Sep 2019
The tour was excellent. We really enjoyed our tour guide Mauricio who did a great job. I was concerned that the tour would not be great because of the Notre Dame fire. However, Mauricio toured us around the cathedral and told us what happened and what the current status was on the reconstruction. He also gave us a lot of information about the cathedral. The tour of St. Chapelle was also excellent.
Terry I, Aug 2019
We had a wonderful, personal experience seeing the history of Notre Dame, the Conciergerie and Sainte Chapelle. We really enjoyed the history of the Conciergerie. It makes us want to read more about this time. Since it was just us and our guide we could ask so many questions. It was a great morning full of history and fun.
Christine H, Aug 2019
This was the best part of our trip! Our Guide went out of his way to find us when the area was closed down for an special event. It was a immersion of beautiful places, humor and amazing history!! I think our Guide has history running through his veins.
Kristine_K, Jun 2019
Mauricio was such a great guide. I wish he had been our guide for all or sightseeing in Paris. Tops!

Napoleone tour was perfect. We learned so much and the historical information shared was in depth and well presented. Napoleone Tour guide was outstanding.
Shirley_C, Apr 2018
Booking tours with Viator was an easy process. We had limited time in Paris and are so glad we selected a private tour to tailor our interests and maximize our time. Our tour guide was Maurizio with Napoleone tours. He was easy to locate in front of Notre Dame Cathedral as he was had a large blue badge. He was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We saw so many details in the Cathedral we would have never seen or known about without a guide. He also took us into the Conciergerie and showed us all around and shared a tremendous amount of details and history with us. Unfortunately Sainte-Chapelle was closed due to a strike. But Maurizio did everything possible to get us inside including going in twice to talk to people inside and having his office call them also. But unfortunately it was closed to all tours. He did give us our ticket so that we could return to see Sainte-Chapelle on another day. Maurizio was an awesome tour guide and did a great job. We are very happy we selected this tour and feel like it was a great experience.

Our private tour of Notre Dame, le conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle with Maurizio was outstanding! He is extremely knowledgeable, interesting, and thoroughly entertaining. His extensive historical insight brought each venue to life and made for an engaging, memorable experience. We recommend his tours wholeheartedly! Money well spent. DLaine and Eric, USA

We wanted a detailed tour of Notre Dame, so I am glad we chose this tour. My 10 and 13 year old daughters liked most of it and only got fidgety at the end of the 3 hours. Interesting to see the Conciergerie and Saint Chapelle too.
