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!

We loved the renovations to notre Dame but were even more impressed with how much our guide shared with us. The tour was worth every penny we spent as it created a wonderful and memorable experience for us rather than just looking at the building. The headphones were great and easy to use.
