NEVER BOOK WITH VIATOR!! There are so many better companies. They RUINED OUR VISIT TO PARIS. Not only did the guide not show up for our tour of Notre Dame, the customer service person had no way to contact the local provider. We could only text them and they never responded. We travel several times a year and we will NEVER use Viator again. Please heed my warning
This tour was cancelled the day before!! We booked over 60 days ago. We tried getting (free) Cathedral tickets on the Cathedral website for the same day when we learned of the cancellation, but they were SOLD OUT! The short notice is very unprofessional. Elsiago was scheduled to be our guide. If he had an issue & was unable to tour, then his company should have found a replacement. We are only in Paris 2 days & visiting the rebuilt Cathedral was at the top of our list. Extremely disappointed as to how this was handled on short notice. Of course we expect to get our money back. But we will be unable to visit now. Avoid booking with this company.
Very interesting and necessary to understand the cathedral. The guide was full of information and showed pictures of the before and after construction and renovations.
Very nice small group tour. 4 people total. Immediate access (bypassing a huge line ). Monty was our guide. He is very knowledgeable, speaks clearly and concisely and overall made the tour both educational and enjoyable.
