Perkins was very knowledgeable and a great guide, it was a beautiful experience and I look forward to visiting again
Good history and story telling by Perkins
This is an outside information tour .Denise was our guide and she did a great job delivering lots of interesting facts and answering our questions. Especially as we had excessively high temperatures of 40 + .
Sidi was the best tour guide ever! So knowledgeable, so accommodating, everything you want in a tour guide.
Excellent info on history of Notre Dame and fire and restoration. Interesting analogies and funny quotes. Highly recommend!
This tour does NOT include access to the Cathedral so is not described well. Info could be obtained easily on line
Thank you for your feedback. The product you booked is: Guided Exterior Tour with Independent Interior Visit This means you receive a live guided tour of the exterior of Notre-Dame Cathedral. After the guided exterior portion, you may enter the cathedral independently, as interior access is free and managed by the site. This tour does not include a guided interior visit, and this is clearly stated in the first line of the description of this option. If a guided inside visit was expected, that is a different option that we offer that was not chosen by you. The experience delivered matches exactly what was booked.
Sidi was an amazing, knowledgable and interactive tour guide! Best tour that I have been on.
The tour guide Teteiana is a lovely person. So informative. She was knowledgable and explained so many small things that I never knew. Also very caring about people because of the heat. I would love another tour with her.
Cidi was fantastic! Was an amazing tour.
Rita was super knowledgeable and cared about the kids. Definitely recommend. She offered to take some great photos of the family which was truly appreciated coming from a mom
