    Notre Dame -- Extraordinary Tour

    Rosemary_F, May 2026
    Our tour was incredibly interesting. We had a perfect tour guide. This was the highlight of our trip!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Hi Rosemary! "Highlight" is a high honor indeed and we are most proud to have unlocked it; Sharing with you our insight on the Gothic glories of the cathedral was a delight for us and we're so glad to know we hit a bull's eye!

    Great Experience in Visiting Notre Dame

    Grant_K, Oct 2025
    My wife and I booked this semi-private tour and we were the only participants so we had a private tour with Mika. She was very knowledgeable and informative about the history, architecture, the inside contents, and the restoration of Notre Dame. It was a great tour and experience. We’d highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hello Grant and thank you for the great recommendation, which we'll be passing on to Mika! We are so pleased and proud to present the newly restored cathedral and share our understanding of her past, present, and future!

    The resilience of the people of France.

    A great lesson in history and heroics. Very educational experience. Our tour guide, Anthony was just so very knowledgeable.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Notre Dame encapsulates so much of the history of France, not just the Middle Ages but all through, up to the fire and the rebuilding. It is our pleasure to share all of that and more with you. We are humbled by your kind review and Anthony will be so touched. Thank you for your glowing comments!
