A great morning a Notre Dame - Patrick was a knowledgeable and terrific guide. He knew some much history and was patient with the older people in our tour who were slower walkers. He gave great tips post lunch that we did and enjoyed. Great job Patrick!

The tour was great.... - The tour was great. Walked around the Ile de cite and then to Notre Dame. We got to go inside and explore the entire cathedral and see all the chapels. The tour guide was wonderful and offered a lot of historical background.

This tour is AWESOME! - Our Tourguide was absolutely WONDERFUL and we learned soooo much. The tour of Il de la Cite was just as interesting as Notre Dame, which was spectacular. I will never forget this tour or Notre Dame. Highly recommend!

Perfect Tour! - Naomi was our guide, and we felt lucky to have her! The tour was just the right pace, doing it with just a small group was so worth it, and the extra feature of the short walk to Notre Dame and learning more about the area a history was really nice. We had been to Paris after the fire, and while restoration was going on, and I’m so glad we were able to see it restored and in its glory! Doing this with a guide is the only way, if you really want to get the best experience! There’s no way to get as much out if it by just going through on your own!

Wonderful Tour - Wonderful walking tour of several historic buildings on the way to Notre Dame. Then a tour inside the cathedral. It was great to learn so much from our tour guide who was so knowledgeable about the cathedral and other things in Paris. I definitely recommend this tour.

May I have my money back? - The access to the Cathedral is free and Guides are not allowed to work inside. The meeting point was ten minutes walking from the main entrance. It’s not worth to pay for a tour like this.

Disappointing experience. - The meeting point was a 20 minute walk from Notre Dame. I was with someone who was unable to walk that far. We went into the Cathedral and did an audio tour at the same time that we were to be there. We were disappointed and we paid a lot for this. I would like a refund or at least a partial refund. The meeting place needs to be closer and needs to be clearer where it is. We were unaware of how far it was so we didn’t have time to go to the meeting place, Very Disappointed by this.
