Best tour EVER!!!! - This perhaps was the best tour I have ever been on and I say that for two reasons…. Suzuki was our guide and HE WAS FABULOUS…. Full of interesting knowledge with pictures so we could see what he was talking about up close.. he took his time and never rushed us and let us ask questions…. I would do this tour again just because of him!!! Well Notre Dame was pretty amazing too!!! The second point I want to make is we were lost and could not find the meeting point and Viator called and walked with us on the phone to get us where we were supposed to be!!! Thank you for waiting for us so we didn’t miss this tour!!! The only other thing I should say is that in the directions of how to get there…. It should say the meeting point IS NOT on the grounds of Notre Dame…. That would help everyone to realize you have to walk a little ways down the street!!!

Small tour is the way to go for Notre Dame - superior tour guide! - Julie was EXCELLENT! She really knew the history, details , and offered a great perspective on the fire, the changes of Notre Dame over the years and, as we walked around the perimeter, viewing the many chapels, she explained the additions, changes and worldwide inclusion of influences over the years. QUITE GOOD! The small tour is definitely the way to go, worth every nickel! Thanks Julie!!!

Excellent guide. Still had to wait in a significant line. - We had a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Julie. She explained with great details and enthusiasm, and she answered all of our questions. I thought we would be able to skip the line, but still had to wait outside in line for 15-20 minutes, which I didn’t anticipate for the price of the tour.

Book another tour…horrible experience. - Poor meeting place location, poor directions and no description or way to meet guides..we were told literally 2 girls with dark hair, one with pigtails and the other with long finger nails. Looked all over the place even inside Notre Dame. Fathers 79th birthday gift and it was a bust!
