Notre Dame - Inside Out - The was great. Our guide Said was EXCEPTIONAL. He really knew his history and made it clear and concise. Both a brief explanation outside before entering were very well done. When inside - did not feel rushed even though it is very crowded. If you get the chance - do it. Tiles entry bears standing in lines. Also - read the rules on what to wear - they will turn you away at the door.

30m outside, 30 min inside, 100% easy - Sayyid is a very knowledgeable guide. He is kind and had lots of interesting information to share outside and inside Notre Dame. Using the headphones was key because it was very crowded and otherwise could have been hard to hear. The whole experience was very smooth. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others.

Uncle Sam Tours canceled at the last minute - Unfortunately Uncle Sam’s Tours cancelled the 3 pm tour by email at 1:16 pm. Ten people were waiting for the guide. Because I was having difficulty with receiving emails I did not find out the tour was cancelled until another guest checked her email. No information in the email about getting a refund.

Tour cancelled at very short notice without adequate explanation - We were informed by email around 1 ½ hours before the tour that it had been cancelled. The reason given was that the Cathedral was closed to the public that afternoon because a service for the Feast of the Assumption was taking place the following day. This turned out not to be true, as we eventually were able to visit the Cathedral after queuing for a long time in very hot weather. Even if the Feast of the Assumption was the reason for the cancellation of the tour, there was no reason for the organisation being unaware of this, as the dates of these events are known years in advance. At the very least, the guide or another representative of the organisation should have attended in person to apologise, rather than us being informed by a last minute email, which in fact I didn't receive until later that because of no Internet access.
