Visiting Notre Dame today - Tour guides are still not allowed into cathedral but tour and information about exterior is fascinating and worth the visit. Guide gave a lot of information about what could be found inside too, if you chose to visit on your own.

Great tour of the Notre Dame Cathedral - Last weekend we did semi-private tour of the Notre Dame cathedral. Though the cathedral was closed for reconstruction and that we already have visited it for more than a few times, we were surprised by the amount of interesting information that we obtained during this tour. Our guide, Boris, gave us a completely new perspective on history end importance of this building, with an insight on many esthetic, theological and symbolic concepts. He was open to exchange, explain and profound these information. It was a very positive and enriching experience, and we certainly recommend it.

A journey to the history of Paris - Very interesting tour. The guide has a high level of knowledge, as well as a sympathetic dose of humor. The guide adapts to its audience and can answer very specific questions, as well as more general ones. I would recommend this tour to travelers who love the history and the city of Paris.

It doesn’t get any better than this! - 🤩 Of all the serious tours we’ve done, this was the most eye opening, interesting, and expertly run. The operator also has an app that is the best resource I’ve seen for understanding Notre Dame and appreciating its art.

Notre Dame NO SHOW - We arrived 15 minutes early at the statue of King Charlemaine. No guide showed up. We went to other people and asked about the semi=private tour. We had no guide and no notice from Viator that the tour had been canceled or postponed. We paid for this in advance and got robbed.
