This tour was a fantastic way to explore Notre Dame with a very small group and a fantastic guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and was a ln expert at navigating a challenging tourist location and making it a worthwhile experience. The walking portion of the island was also well done, fun and informational.

I really enjoyed this tour. Meeting at the statue of Charlemagne was easy, and we were able to go in without waiting in the long lineup.
Our guide, Amélie, was wonderful — very knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to listen to. She has a Master’s degree in Medieval History, which really showed in the depth of what she shared with us.
This was my second visit to Notre-Dame, but my first since the devastating fire, and I found the tour very meaningful. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you very much, Amélie, for a wonderful experience!

This was our first trip to Notre Dame and it was beautiful. Our guide was great at explaining everything to us and even a little tour of the town around it. We had crepes and watched people go by and it was lovely.

Adam was a great guide! Providing the incredible history of Notre Dame and how History of France is intertwined. I learned so many fun facts about the building and repairing of Notre Dame as well as how religion was such a central part of the birth of Paris. Highly recommend….the time flew by!
