Our guide Diana was lovely and her IPad pictures of the fire very helpful. There was quite a bit of time I could not hear her though. I'd recommend headsets if it's not too costly. I apologize too because I wanted to go and pray and I was informed by my friend that the group dispersed before time. So sorry. I didn't mean to cause a problem. Please tell Diana that I prayed for her request. The message that came to me is that she is to become quiet and listen. Stella from The Yukon (Canada).

In this awesome building, and I use this word advisedly, our visit was enhanced by the excellent guide who gave us so much more than we may have seen on english documentaries. The guide's insight into some of the restoration detail was amazing and his explanation of some of the symbolism in the Cathedral was excellent. I was only sad that I had to leave before he had finished. I have tried to upload a photo which, despite my reducing it to 1MG, the photo would not upload.

Enjoyed the tour of the renovated Notre Dame with a very knowledgeable guide Fanny. It’s absolutely stunning. The brilliant sunshine outside made the most of the beautiful stained glass windows. Fanny was an excellent guide and the headsets provided ensured that we could hear her words clearly in the crowded cathedral. We learnt so much. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

    The crowd was moderate. The history was well explained by the guide. Every part of the Cathedral was clearly described. Calm atmosphere.

    Notre Dame is a beautiful building which is obvious to everybody Our guide though was able to give us insight into the history of the cathedral and point out small details that we might not have seen otherwise and give us meanings for the symbolism represented at various points in the building. Highly recommend.

    We took the 9:00 AM tour with Mo. This proved an excellent choice because it gets much busier later on and Mo really knew her stuff. Mo was on top of her game she knew things you would not get from your guide book. Her presentation was well researched and her manner delighful.
