Moe was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable about Notre Dame and gave us information we would not have discovered on our own.

We’re thrilled to hear Moe made your tour so informative and engaging! It’s wonderful that his knowledge helped you discover details about Notre Dame you wouldn’t have found on your own.

This was a wonderful way for our family (parents and adult children) to learn about the art and history of Notre Dame. Moe was an outstanding guide.

Moe was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable on content as well as very professional and personable . He took his time to make sure we had plenty of time to ask questions and spend in the inside of the cathedral . Highly recommend this tour

It lasts a little over 1hour. Guide was knowledgeable and very amiable. Pricey for what it is. Had been there before but appreciated seeing it done to its previous glory

Quick tour, perfect amount of time for us. We visited Notre Dame years ago and wanted to see the restoration. Our tour guide (forgot her name) gave just the right amount of info while we toured the exterior before we entered the cathedral for a self guided tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s great to hear the tour length and information were just right for revisiting Notre Dame and seeing the restoration. We’re glad your guide made the exterior tour engaging before you continued inside on your own.

Moe was an exceptional tour guide. This was well worth the cost. My wife and I learned intricate details about the Notre Dame that you simply could not learn with an expert guiding you through the tour. Thank you Moe, for your knowledge, humor and expertise. 10 out of 10!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your tour with Moe was exceptional and that his knowledge, humor, and expertise made the experience truly worthwhile. Learning the intricate details of Notre Dame with a passionate guide really does make a difference.

While I might have been able to snag a free entrance ticket, it wouldn't compare to the guided tour we got from Moe, our guide. He provided a great educational tour lasting for about 1 1/2 hours. The pace was perfect and the use of headphones so he could speak to all of us in the church worked great. Learned so much.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Moe made your tour educational and enjoyable, and that the pacing and use of headphones enhanced your experience. It’s great to know you learned so much and had a memorable visit!

Our tour leader, Moe, was OUTSTANDING! He explained so many things about the design of the exterior of Notre Dame as well as when we went inside. My only regret is that we'd originally scheduled the tour for the morning and then it was rescheduled for 7:30 pm. As a result we couldn't experience the beauty of the stained glass windows. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your tour leader, Moe, was OUTSTANDING! It sounds like he did a fantastic job explaining the design of the exterior of Notre Dame as well as the details you observed inside.
Brian_M, Nov 2025
Guide was OK but gave only limited information.Tour ended outside Notre Dame with self directed afterwards.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you Brian for your review.
You booked an exterior walking tour + access which means you get an exterior guided walking tour + the reservations to enter the cathedral.
This is why it was self guided afterwards.
Debra_S, Oct 2025
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient as some of our group had trouble with the listening devices. I feel we definitely got our money's worth with her tour, especially since we didn't have to wait on any lines to enter Notre Dame.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you found your guide knowledgeable and patient throughout the tour. It’s great that you felt the experience was worth it, especially with the convenience of skipping the lines at Notre Dame.
