Enjoyable tour - We enjoyed our time with Niko. He stayed with us longer because of a delay in accessing Notre Dame (the police had closed the area due to a potential threat). We learned about the early days of Paris and the role of Notre Dame. The adults in our group enjoyed it, the child not so much. But that’s not a surprise.

Tamari and the Notre Dane - Tamari was our local guide and she made every effort to ensure that our trip was both interesting and enjoyable. We ended up having our own private tour as we were the only people on this experience which was excellent. Tamari met us at the appointed place Cite metro and she gave us an informative guide of the immediate area. Then we walked over to Notre Dame and again our guide was knowledgeable. We were taken round the inside of Notre Dame and we were not rushed so we had plenty of time to take advantage of the restored interior. Later we were given plenty of additional information about places to visit. An excellent tour with a very pleasant individual

Tamari’s grand tour of Norte Dame - Tamari was at the meeting point at Cite before the 2pm time slot and the company had already contacted us to make sure we would be there. We found Tamari to be very pleasant and informative. We had a resume of the buildings all around the Metro site with lots of interesting information about the area. We then strolled over to the Norte Dame and we were escorted round the inside and again Tamari was very knowledgeable. There was no rush and she was able to provide a number interesting insights about Norte Dame and the rebuild after the fire. At the end of the tour we were given more information about where else to visit. A sound and well presented tour by someone who knew their stuff.

Paris tour - We walked through the cathedral on our own which is actually free to do. Met back outside with our tour guide. He explained the intricate details and history of the cathedral.

The experience was very frustrating. - We could not find our guide even though we were exactly where they said we should be. We waited a half and then got on the general admission line. This was the second time this happened to us on our trip to Paris
