Liz is a great storyteller, and conversationalist. We had visited other churches and cathedrals throughout our trip to Portugal and France and without a guide like Liz, who did a great job the visits are meaningless. I highly recommend Liz. Liz made our experience at Notre Dame. Fabulous!
It is well worth the price to have a knowledgeable guide to show you around the cathedral.
Our Guide, Monte, was a few minutes late but another guide sent a text to him as he was just finishing up leading another group. He was very knowledgeable and communicated well with excellent language skills answering many questions we had. We learned much more than if we had opted not to employ a guide. Mark R.
Rapid admission to cathedral rather than waiting in long lines. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Delightful experience.
Guide was good. Was expecting more focus on the fire impacts and reconstruction, less on old history.
Very knowledgeable guide who was warm and helpful. Gave us historical context and the current issues in rebuilding this incredible structure.
Liz was a very knowledgeable guide
Monte was knowledgeable and informative especially about the 2019 fire and recovery/restoration. Our group was small which made it easier to hear inside the church.

Our guide Liz was exceptional. We had been to Notre Dame before but she deepened the experience by teaching us elements of Notre Dame we did not know. One of the best tours of its kind we have ever had.
