The tour was fascinating and the tour guide provided a historical and contemporary view of the church.
Timothee was an excellent tour guide. He was so passionate about the history. It was like listening to a story. Highly recommended getting a tour to fully understand and appreciate the Notre Dame.
We were about 15 minutes late and missed the tour. It took us a while to find the Coffee shop. Once we found out that we missed the tour I tried to contact the tour guide. He/she did not answer the phone call. I finally had to add the number to my contact list and send a text asking if we could be scheduled for another time. The answer was NO all are booked up. Why is the meeting place so far from Notre Dame? Surely you can find a more convenient place to meet? We paid more than $100.00 for this tour for 4 of us. You could have shown a little flexibility to 4 Americans who are not familiar with Paris. Please give us a refund or a voucher. Booking # BR 1414243379. We travel to Europe once a year and we will book with you again.
Thank you for your review. We’d like to address this honestly: 1. You arrived 15 minutes late to a timed group tour. This is something you acknowledge yourself. The tour cannot wait — there are other paying guests who arrived on time. 2. Our guide was in the middle of leading a live tour when you called. Answering their phone was not an option. 3. Our meeting point is 300 metres from Notre Dame’s entrance. It is clearly marked in your booking confirmation, your reminder email, and the map link we send every guest. Meeting outside the cathedral itself would mean finding your group among thousands of tourists — which would cause far more confusion. We genuinely hope you enjoyed Paris, but we are not in a position to offer a refund for a missed tour due to late arrival. Our policies exist to be fair to every guest, including those who planned their time accordingly. We wish you well.
This experience was not what we expected. Our guide was knowledgeable, however, the description of the tour was one that was to have had a guided tour of both the interior and exterior of Notre Dame. Our guide only gave us an exterior tour. We were not given timed tickets or a guided tour for the interior of Notre Dame. Very disappointed. We would like our money returned.
You booked an outside only tour It’s very clear in the options listed
It was very helpful for when we went inside the cathedral. Our guide gave us a good synopsis of what had been done and what to see.
It says outside tour plus entry, but it did not include an entry. Deceiving in my opinion. Have to go wait in the big long line with everyone else whether you had paid for anything or not. The meeting spot was on the other side of the bridge from where we were coming from and very inconvenient and couldn’t find the people anyway so we missed the whole thing.
Informative of the area where one meets the guide, easier access into Notre Dame and information I would not have learned on my own. Potluck on the tour guide. Although he spoke good English he spoke a little to softly when he turned his head.
The guide was very good but the tour from start to finish was 45 minutes, while we could go back inside if we wanted to, it was rushed and the information said it would be a 90 minute tour. It was an expensive 45 minutes!
Aida was so knowledgeable and kind. Fantastic guide.
When we booked, we specifically requested that the tour be in French. The person from Viator assured us that this would be the case, even though it was not mentioned in the description. The guide Nadia was perfect but does not speak French, and for her, the tour was in English. Furthermore, it is not clear in the description, but the guided part only concerns the exterior.
