Tour guides were very knowledgeable, one or two a little too much talk, another perfect, walked and talked. It’s more about seeing, than hearing. That is an important point. It’s visual with a “brief” description, historical or otherwise!

Our guide was simply fantastic, she was knowledgeable, kind and engaging. The day we were at Notre Dame was exceptionally crowded and the lines were but our guide kept our little group together and filled the waits with history that made the area come alive. We had a great time and talked about the visit long after the tour was over.
