The tour of the church was very good and informative. Also because we had a guide for two and didn't have to share her with a large group. What was less nice was that we had to walk through the long queue in the rain and cold, even though we had booked in advance and it was advertised that we didn't have to stand in the queue. There was probably only one entrance. That was incomprehensible with the mass of visitors best regards Heike Lemm and Ruth Hürster

What can I say?? The restoration of NDP is an incredible showcase for the quality, artistry and dedication of France's artisans. Our guide, a Very knowledgeable historian made the visit come to life with many historical anecdotes relating to the Cathedral and to daily life (and misery) of the population of Paris during the Middle Ages. A must see on anyone's bucket list!!

    Our guide was great, very knowledgeable, very personable! It was very crowded...days before Christmas...but she moved us through the crowds to key points. Notre Dame has been beautifully restored and renovated, it was great to be back again and share the experience and appreciate the labor of all those involved in the repair and restoration.

    The guide was excellent - full of information and ready to answer our questions. Seeing the inside of Notre Dame, after the fire so clean and bright, compared with before the fire - dark and grey. Just amazing; and to realise how much of the cathedral was saved and has been restored.
