Exceptional tour - Antoine Rosselot is such a bright light. His love for his job is evident as he shared the inspiration for his profession began as a young boy. He was warm and friendly, making a true attempt to know every person in our group by name. He was knowledgeable and engaging. Antoine took things a step further when he privately messaged intricate details of his Paris favorites when we asked, after our tour. The tour meeting location was clean and proximal to Notre Dame. We'd recommend this experience to all of our friends and family.

Notre Dame Tour - This was such an interesting tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the interior and the exterior as well. We had plenty of time to walk slowly through the cathedral and enjoy what we were seeing and learning about.

Good, but needed more. - Was a good tour and lots about the fire, but we wish we learned more about the history and architecture of Notre-Dame. What makes it Gothic vs. Romanesque? What is the story the facade tells? Why was it built? What happened to it over the centuries? How does N-D fit into the history of Paris? Wha bout Victor Hugo and Notre Dame? So it was a nice tour, but for the price, we wanted to learn more.
