Paul is as magnificent as they come - Our tour guide Paul was magnificent. An educator and contemporary artist himself, he was dynamic, informative, and had a great sense of humor with his stories that brought the Notre Dame to life for us. We greatly appreciated his kindness, personality, and knowledge. We highly recommend Paul and this tour!

Great tour - Great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us the background of how the fire destroyed Notre Dame then took us through the repair. He also had great knowledge of French history.

Excellent Tour of Ile de la Cité and Notre Dame - Excellent walking tour of Ile de la Cité and Notre Dame. Alban was knowledgeable and engaging. He happily answered all our questions. The small size of our group (4) meant it was easier to hear his thorough commentary and to ask questions, not to mention easier navigation through the crowds. We really enjoyed seeing Notre Dame since it's reconstruction following the fire. We saw it only months before the fire, and the transformation is striking! If you've never seen Notre Dame, this is a great way to see both the outside and the inside of this cultural icon. Highly recommended!
