Walks, Devour Tours Notre Dame experience was incredible. Our tour guide Avi gave us in-depth detail of Notre Dame’s history, reconstruction challenges and history of the island. Our tour both inside and outside of Notre Dame Cathedral was above expectation. We had time to for us to sit while listening to the amazing details of the art and history of the cathedral. This was one of our best experiences in Paris. Thanks for the memories.

This tour was amazing! Tina, our guide, is actually an art Professor! She gave interesting insights to all of the carvings, stained glass, paintings, etc. We were guided effortlessly around and in the Cathedral. We are glad that we were there in April, as opposed to peak season! The crowds were still large, but not overwhelming. It would have been nice to be there on a Friday when the crown of thorns and spike are on display! The restoration after the fire was remarkable!

I took this tour with Hugo on April 11…<br />Hugo (also a native Parisian!) was our guide for the morning Notre Dame tour. He is definitely full of a wealth of knowledge about Notre Dame and we were able to go early before the lines became very long! He pointed out interesting sites both inside and outside of Notre Dame and walked us around the island where Notre Dame is and showed us and explained to us the history of the island. <br />The only suggestion at times it was difficult to understand Hugo’s tour of Notre Dame. It would have been nice to have headphones to hear him better because he was whispering throughout the tour at Notre Dame to be respectful.<br />Otherwise, fantastic tour Hugo, merci!
