The location was changed at the last minute with a different service provider. I was unaware of this and ended up going into Notre Dame on my own and paying for another entrance fee.
Response from Host, May 2026
This review is misleading and does not accurately reflect what happened. Due to temporary construction works in the area, the meeting point was moved only a short distance nearby. This change was communicated several hours in advance by message and phone calls. We attempted to contact you more than 7 times before and shortly after the tour start time, but none of the calls or messages received any response.
No effort was made to contact us back or locate the group despite the information provided. We also want to clarify an important factual error in your review: entry to Notre-Dame is completely free and does not require any entrance fee. Our tour does not involve paid admission to Notre-Dame.
The issue was not caused by the meeting point adjustment, but by the complete lack of communication and non-attendance despite repeated attempts to reach you.

Diana was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable about the interior and exterior of Notre Dame and was able to show us all the restoration projects that had been completed after the fire. Our original meeting time was 10 am and we were moved up to 9 due to crowds. This was the best suggestion we could have gotten, as we walked right in at 9 but would have stood over an hour in line had we gone at 10.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for taking the time to write this.
It’s always rewarding to hear when everything aligns — the timing, the flow of the visit, and the overall experience. We’re glad the early start made things easier and allowed you to enjoy the visit without the long wait.
Maurice_T, Nov 2025
Personilzed and very informative. As it was a private tour it was focused on our questions, likes and interest.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing this.
We’re really glad the experience matched what you were looking for and that the private format worked well for you. Your feedback means a lot, and we appreciate you taking the time to leave it.
Wishing you a great rest of your stay in Paris.
Bruce_W, Oct 2025
guide never showed up so we did not get the expected tour. we did walk through by ourselves. very disappointed
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Bruce, we have no booking under your name, and all our recent Notre-Dame tours were attended in full with no absence of any guide or guest! It appears your reservation was made through a different agency. Please verify your booking details to ensure your review is directed to the correct provider.
Ron_S, Oct 2025
Definitely not a good tour when there is a service going on inside. Could not hear tour guide and we were limited on where we could go.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry that your visit coincided with a Mass taking place inside the cathedral. Our tours are carefully scheduled to avoid service times whenever possible, but on rare occasions, an exceptional Mass may be held unexpectedly. Unfortunately, sound and access inside cathedrals are beyond our control — and church speakers can indeed be quite powerful! Despite this, we hope you still enjoyed discovering the history and beauty of Notre-Dame with your guide. Regards, VOYAGE Management

Did not seem well informed and also did not have a plan for the tour. Definitely not worth the money.
Mary_I, Sep 2025
Our tour guide, Diana, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Notre Dame, the artistic and architectural detail as well as the circumstances of the 2019 fire and the subsequent renovation. I highly recommend taking the time for this informative guided tour.
Patty_L, Sep 2025
Diana added such interesting context and history along with before and after photos of the fire damage.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad Diana’s stories and details added something special to your visit. We hope the rest of your trip is just as memorable, and we’d love to welcome you back again one day!
