This ad is completely misleading absolutely the worst tour we did on this trip and extremely upset and disappointed. This tour is of st.chapelle and st Chappelle only NOT a skip the line or internal tour of note dame. 100 other tours for over 1/2 the price. Tickets to st chapel are about 22 euro and there is nearly no line. The tour guide was nice and informative but not at all what we signed up for.

The guide was very knowledgable and happily answered questions. Unfortunately, much of the cathedral was concealed where restoration was still in progress, preventing a 360 tour. None the less, the Grand facade and flying buttresses were visible and the detail explained. Don’t think that preferential treatment for interior tour is given; one must join the queue with everyone else.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear you found the guide knowledgeable and appreciated the explanations about the cathedral's architecture. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the restoration work and its impact on the visit.
Liz was amazing. She is knowledgeable and articulate. Her depth of knowledge about Notre-Dame, coupled with her engaging story-telling of the cathedral, from its founding in the 12th century through the fire and restoration, made for stimulating and enriching experience. It was advertised as a 60-minute tour, but she gave us 90 minutes. 5-stars all the way, strongly recommend.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear Liz's knowledge and storytelling made your Notre-Dame visit so enriching and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation!
