Our guide was very good. In fact she was excellent. She knew all the interesting facts, but didn't bombard us with too many dates, all of which I've forgotten by the time I get to the end of the tour!. She answered any questions with great humour & understood the politics of both us Brits & our American tour companions, without getting drawn in too deep! 😂 The only issue was the initial meeting was a little "spontaneous " as there was no obvious sign for a dumb tourist to spot! 😂

The tour was supposed to last 1 hour, but the guide suggested we arrive 30 minutes early to take the time to explain the exterior architectural details and the history of the fire. It was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour. A big thank you to our guide Hervé.

Hervé Cadoret is a very professional guide who not only knows his subject very well but is also passionate about the history of Notre Dame de Paris from its very beginnings. His commentary is simple and accessible but always relevant. Thank you very much, we really enjoyed it.

Bus's where on time and punctual leaving on time. Constantly reminding us to ease the concerns. Very patient with people who had no idea how to enter the bus and leave it. Amazing how confident we became with only a couple of stops

The tour was GREAT thanks to our guide Hervé who, despite the crowd in the cathedral, was able to give us all the explanations and answer our questions. I highly recommend this tour with Hervé.

A tour for just the three of us, with a passionate guide for what was almost a private tour. A guide who was very generous with his time. He welcomed us before the scheduled time. Really great guide!

Arrive at Notre-Dame for your reserved entry time, then join your group for a 1.5-hour guided tour around the cathedral’s exterior.

Walk around the Gothic façade with your expert guide, taking in the gargoyles, rose windows, and architectural details while hearing the stories behind them.

Your guide brings Notre-Dame’s history and architecture to life from outside the cathedral; there is no guided tour inside.

After the outdoor tour, use your reserved entry to step inside Notre-Dame and explore the reopened interior independently at your own pace.

Choose from English, French, Spanish, or Italian, with regular, small-group, or private tour formats available depending on your selection.

My rating was done by mistake ! It should be ZERO ! The payment been taken 48hrs before the tour, agent contacted me less than 24hrs before the tour started that they didn't received enough participants and offering me another day instead ??? I've reached out to Headout and been advised that they will investigate this matter and will let me know within next 18hrs 🤣, which would leave me with no time to do any changes during my Paris stay. I've requested to cancel the tour and choose different agent. Not happy with initial booking

This tour was fantastic. Melvil, our guide, met us right at the Metro stop, and we lucked out that it was just us and one other couple. We get an extremely informative tour that explained a ton of interesting things we otherwise wouldn't have learned, and he was engaging and funny throughout. Would highlight recommend vs waiting in line and doing a self guided tour, in my opinion. Worth it just for the line skip alone but the tour was truly fantastic
