This was a truly... - This was a truly wonderful experience since it was Notre Dame. However without our guide we would have missed so many details relating to the cathedral and its history. We were part of a very small and intimate group which also helped. It allowed us to ask questions without any inhibitions. The tour was quite overwhelming in every aspect.

Beautifully Restored! - Well organized tour. Guide was very informative about both the exterior and interior architectural history both before and after the fire. Having been to Notre Dame before the fire I can honestly say the restoration is amazing. You can now see the beautiful interior of the building which is lit by sun filtering through the stained glass windows. Even on a cloudy day still stunning. It is extremely crowded, but worth visiting to see Notre Dame still standing in its grandeur, the heart of Paris.

Good but brief tour - Tickets are not required for entry. Enter Notre Dame. This activity was for a tour guide, not for entry to the church. We were expecting a tour of the church exterior but were only given a few facts while waiting in line to enter. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Interior of the church was fairly brief. I had an expectation of learning more about the history of the church and its construction but received a few explanations only. Also, the day after my tour I was back at Notre Dame and found a very informative wall display all about the tragic fire in 2019. It would have been nice to be told about this display so I could have seen it during the day. The tour was not bad but I think the next visit will be one on my own.

Not good. Provider cancelled out the day before the tour. - I had booked this tour months in advance and was notified about 24 hours before the tour was being cancelled. No acceptable alternative was provided. Ended up having to do a last minute booking with someone else. Just lucky I found an alternative at the last possible minute.
