Fascinating tour of Notre Dame de Paris - an extraordinary place of devotion, history and art. - Fettah Merribeh, our guide, was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the cathedral, its history, and the fire of 2019 and recovery. His English is superb.

A five star experience with Monty at the louvre museum. - The louvre was more than I ever imagined. Monty the tour guide was absolutely fundamental in making this experience immersive and informative First class in every way is the only way to describe him. Everything was covered in such detail that others would miss without Montys lnowledge and attention to detail and delivery. I can highly recommend Monty every time.

Notre Dame with Hafid - We loved our tour of Notre Dame with Hafid! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and the time just flew by. We learned so much about the history of the cathedral as well as the fire in 2019 and subsequent restoration and rebuilding. Thank you, Hafid, for an enjoyable morning with our small group!

A very interesting experience. - We had a very interesting tour with Monty, today. We saw the 'hidden fems', that we would not have found ourselves. He was excellent, telling us about the history of the Louvre and France, as well as the paintings. We would really recommend this guided tour, especially for a first visit.

Notre Dame is stunning and packed with history. - . We didn’t find it that informative and the guide was hard to understand. Notre Dame was absolutely beautiful. Breath taking at times.

Disappointed - Considering it was canceled on us 30 minutes before the tour and no substitute was offered, I was terribly dissatisfied. We were unable to tour Notre Dame.
