Fantastic way to see Notre Dame and local area

Steven_S, Nov 2025

Alberto was a great guide. The tour ran at a comfortable pace with lots of great information shared. Easy group access to Notre Dame. An hour touring the local sites and then a trip down the Seine. Excellent value for money.

Awesome experience, great job at to skip the line

Christopher_F, Jul 2025

I was looking for a way to get last minute Notre Dame tickets, while skipping the line. And this is perfect. Guide was prompt and helpful. Walked us to the group entrance and entry took 30 seconds. I wasn’t able to attend the additional experiences but that’s just a bonus to me. The value was in avoiding the line. The audio guide was also great.

Great experience, nice guide, organization good. Had to download the app, worked just fine. Cathedral amazing, getting the option with time slot reserved would make the experience unforgettable

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Giovanni, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear you had a great experience and that everything—from the organization to the guide and app—worked well.

Moderately satisfied

Benedicte_L, Dec 2025

No audio guide , but a download with a link given by the person who greets us at the meeting point. Provide headphones to respect the silence in the cathedral.. the first comments concern the outside of the cathedral, the facade, but the info had not been given at the beginning. Very friendly guide, but very succinct explanation of the exteriors.
