The excursion is the outcome of meticulous and thorough inquiry undertaken by a doctoral scholar for the benefit of the mobile application, Notre Dame Fiat Lux. The findings of this investigation will also manifest into a book. Therefore, our tour guides, who have actively contributed to this research or have tailored the tour based on it, arguably have unmatched expertise on Notre Dame in Paris, France, and possibly globally. The tour provides an exhaustive perspective of the cathedral highlighting its various elements. We present a unique amalgamation of over a decade of tour guiding experience, extensive research, and above all, an authentic, profound and continually evolving affection for this masterpiece of Gothic architecture.

Fantastic Tour! - The guide was amazing! So much knowledge about the time of notre dame, the building itself, and how the building impacted the area. Fantastic and cannot wait to go back and do it again after Notre Dame reopens. 10/10.

A wonderful experience - We had the most wonderful experience with Boris. We knew that we were not going to be able to go into Norte Dame, but he brought it to life for us. We are most anxious to come back to see it when it reopens. Boris really got us interested in the history and we learned a lot. We highly recommend Boris and this tour.
