Andrea led the tour in English. We could understand her clearly, and she adapted to our pace. Her explanations about the reconstruction of Notre Dame were very detailed and knowledgeable. She was very friendly and approachable. She incorporated many different aspects into her descriptions—historical, cultural, art historical, and theological—and made it all very entertaining! We highly recommend her as a guide!

We really enjoyed our guide, Hugo. His explanations about the rescue of the bells and the parts of the basilica damaged in the fire helped us understand the extent of the damage. He pointed out several features inside and outside the basilica that made exploring it with him well worth the experience. A big thank you to Hugo!

We had a wonderful Notre Dame tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions. We had no hassles getting through line. I loved that he explained the temporary tapestries and the artists who made them. Explaining the carvings on both sides of the choir section. A great day, stayed for 12 pm mass, which was just beautiful.

A fantastic organizer who patiently untangled the mess caused by our mix-ups: wrong timing, wrong meeting place. Kudos to him for finding us another tour slot that same day. Thanks to the excellent guide who captivated us and let us benefit from her “shortcut” as an expectant mother! Thank you for your kindness!

I want to emphasize that our guide, Andrea, was truly exceptional—she was so warm and approachable, very attentive, and, of course, incredibly knowledgeable about Notre Dame. If I were to book this tour again, I would ask for her specifically as our guide. In fact, I’d like to have her phone number so I can tell her this myself.
