With Monty at Notre Dame - This was a great experience. Our guide Monty knew his stuff and was enjoyable. He contacted us in advance to reconfirm and was patient with our questions. I’d definitely use him again.

We had a fantastic tour... - We had a fantastic tour of Notre Dame with John. He was an absolute wealth of information—so knowledgeable about the history of France and incredibly passionate about the cathedral. He pointed out architectural details we never would have noticed on our own, and every explanation added so much depth to the experience. Honestly, we wished we had even more time with him because he had so much to teach. We never would have had the same experience exploring on our own. Highly recommend a tour with John if you want to truly appreciate Notre Dame’s history and beauty.

See Notre Dame with Sabine! - My husband and I had a wonderful tour of Notre Dame with Sabine! We started on the outside while she told us about the history of Notre Dame and how it was restored and changed over the centuries, including the massive restoration after the 2019 fire. We then went inside and she told us all about the chapels, art, windows, choir and more, including the interior restoration, while slowly walking through the church. Sabine had a tablet that she used to show us several photos of the things she talked about (such as before/after photos of the fire and restoration), which made the discussion even more interesting. It was a private two-hour tour, so we were able to ask any questions and Sabine answered them all. Sabine was so knowledgeable, her English was excellent, and she was clearly passionate about Notre Dame and Paris. We highly recommend this tour with Sabine! Thank you, Sabine!

Amazing!!! - Erwan was the best! He is very smart and knowledgeable. His English is perfect. He is very nice. Took us to places in the Museum we probably could not have not gone to without him. I will recommend him to everyone. Will definitely contact his company next time in Paris for other tours. This is my 9th trip to Paris and he helped make it our best ever!!
