Wow, just got back from the Notre-Dame tour and honestly my jaw is still kinda on the floor. Went with my partner and we both agreed the guide (can’t remember his name, sorry!) was suuuper passionate and told all these quirky lil stories about the gargoyles and fire. The inside is STUNNING. There was a bit of a wait outside, maybe 20 mins, but we chatted to other travelers so it flew by. You can’t take pics in some areas, which was a bummer for my Insta, but honestly, you just wanna look anyway. 10/10 would drag my friends here next time.

This was an amazing tour with Anthony. He had all of our names memorized before we even left the meeting spot! He concentrated on describing the highlights of the building and historic symbolism. Dates and names, not so much (although he knew them when asked). Questions and comments were always welcome and he was always gracious. I could not recommend this tour more highly. An iconic monument of Paris with no wait. Not to be missed on a trip to Paris. Worth every penny. Add Saint Chapelle (nearby) as well! Lovely morning!

If you’re on the fence about booking this tour—just do it. I went with my bestie and we both LOVED IT. Our guide, Paul, had us giggling at random facts (gargoyle poop??) and even showed us a secret spot for the best photos. Tour was about an hour, which felt perfect. We wandered around after and honestly could’ve stayed all day. The light through the stained glass was magical.

    It was easy to connect with our tour guide. As we walked to Notre Dame she talked about the area and identified other buildings . She was fabulous and extremely knowledgeable. She took time to explain the recovery from the fire and many stories we did not know! Thank you!

    Janet was really nice and educational! We were able to learn so much and she answered all of our questions (both of the Notre Dame and Parisian life). We were able to easily find her and she guided us to the line and gave us time to take as many pictures as we wanted.

    Seeing Notre Dam was wonderful. WE had to queue with the general people. WE paid for Skip the line tickets, but did not get what we paid for. Because of the long queue the Guide rushed the tour. No a good experience.

    Abib was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of insights about the Cathedral and the reconstruction and restoration. There high ceilings and stained glass were impressive. Didn't get to skip the line though.
