Our tour was excellent. I'd been to the cathedral before and walked through without a guide. This time we chose to hire a guide and it was well worth it. So much history and art and the way they're weaved together over centuries is fascinating. Our guide was so friendly and very knowledgeable. He answered every question and even asked us questions to keep us engaged. The only suggestion I have is to do a walk around of the exterior prior to entering the cathedral to view architectural elements of the gothic period like the flying buttresses.

The visit to Notre Dame with Diana was simply fantastic! She knows the cathedral like no one else and can tell its story in a lively way, full of interesting facts and with great enthusiasm. She made everything very easy to understand and super interesting, and even made sure that everyone felt included and comfortable. We left the tour delighted and eager to explore more! I recommend it with my eyes closed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

To see a rebuilt Notre Dame with very enjoyable. It had the appearance of being almost new. Our guide was very knowledgeable and willing to answer many questions. She also showed us pictures on her iPad of different aspects of the layout and how the fire had damaged the building. Our tour ended when a mass was beginning, so we were able to hear the organ and see how the mass is conducted. Overall, a very enjoyable and pleasant experience.

Easy to book tour and more importantly provided clear instructions where to meet. Excellent tour company, will definitely recommend them and especially Melvil who was my tour guide. He had a wealth of knowledge and made the whole experience enjoyable & informative. Looking forward to booking Melvil on my next trip to the Louvre!

This was my absolute highlight of Paris. Melvil was an incredible guide, the knowledge and passion he had was unmatched, I only wish we had done it sooner so that we knew he also did tours of other places. He really inspired me to learn more about the history of Paris. I would highly recommend to everyone!
